Hi HN! I've been reading a lot about games being de-compiled using LLMs, so I thought that I'd give it a go myself. Back when I was a kid my siblings and I would spend a ton of time playing Crystal Caves on our 286. Given it's age and relatively small footprint, I figured it would be a good target.
- I mostly used DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017. If there was an issue it struggled with, I would switch to GLM 5.3 which could power through it. - It cost me about $20 to make the WASM port - I chose WASM for portability and so everyone can play it easily - Yes DosBox exists. This was for fun and experimentation - You can play directly at https://crystal-caves.re-cycledair.com/
For next steps (if any) I might add a few quality of life improvements and work towards better code organization.

I've been fiddling with a long-term niche product for WordPress plugin and theme updates. It's 10(!) years old this year. Working in a code base that old 100% of my own commits is both amazing and terrifying. Past me was not as experienced at current me :)

Are there any Raspberry Pi competitors that people like? I've see a few referenced in different articles but I don't have any idea how reliable or useful they are.

I don't see the "Engineering Director, Frontend" position on the hiring site. Is it still available?

This is similar to how developing with VSCode is on Windows + WSL.

The article mentions that they use minimal cells.
"Minimal cells are simpler than naturally occurring ones, making them easier to recreate digitally."
