Very humbling to see that this was created in high school and without AI.

Side note: it's interesting to see how 'wrote from scratch' or 'hand written' is used in 2026. I've seen it used to mean literally everything, while others might mean they wrote the core of the engine + some SDL sprinkled throughout. And now, it could just mean 'didn't use AI at all'.

My experience with Emacs, 4K and Wayland was so abysmal that I spent a weekend making my config fully compatible with a terminal.

Not ideal, but I'll keep running it through Ghostty until it's fixed.

Great job. I'd love to see this for the one true sport (cricket).

I've often felt that Emacs is more popular in Japan than I'd expect. Could just be blue car syndrome on my part.

The administration's comms strategy is generally, ah, unconventional.

But this is especially odd given the Dept of War's apparently serious attempt at declassifying UAP files (www.war.gov/UFO/).

Intentionally or not, seems one would undermine the other.

I can't speak for other denominations, but in Catholic philosophy, it's not so much a case of whether it attains consciousness (whatever that may mean now or in the future), but whether it has a soul.

From that perspective, no, machines cannot be baptized, nor can they be Christians, and Jesus cannot save them (because they are not fallen).

Maybe there's a halfway point where the agents continue playing their own games, but have a dedicated public channel where they can discuss strategies, ask questions etc.

In any case, what a great project.

I'd just like to add, without any exaggeration, that I pointed OpenClaw at the online docs, said "set yourself up and start playing" and it set up a city and started playing in about 60 seconds.

OpenClaw is more of a resident AI. It's always running, has access to loads of systems beyond coding (eg email, calendar, browser), and you have many ways to talk to it (like WhatsApp, Signal etc).

It's also an atomic bomb of a security hole waiting to explode.

Yeah, I agree with this sentiment. The boilerplate was oddly helpful when I was starting out.

I have tried and failed to get any LLM to "tell me if you don't have a solution". There may be a way to prompt it, but I've not discovered it. It will always give you a confident answer.

What a nice companion piece to the article. KK is full of good vibes.
