AI Summary
A developer has successfully ported a game originally created in 1993 for the Amiga to the Godot engine, utilizing an AI model for assistance. The process involved analyzing past notes and code, and while the port was mostly successful, a discrepancy of 108 bytes remains unresolved. The original game will be released for free.
- The game was originally developed in 1993 in MC68000 assembly language in Baghdad.
- The porting process to Godot took place during a holiday in July and was completed in one evening, with additional time spent refining the feel of the game.
- The developer used an AI model, Claude Fable 5, to assist in the porting process, analyzing 33 years of memory, notes, and code repositories.
- The AI model assembled the code using vasm on a Mac, achieving a binary that is byte-identical to the original, except for a 108-byte mismatch.
- The original game files were created from a snapshot of the game in memory, rather than a clean assembly output.
- The developer plans to release the original game for free.
