The full story
The Alan Parsons Project is a space shooter written entirely in x86 assembly in under two weeks as a 2002 final project for ECE 291 at the University of Illinois. The original engine pushed 10,000 particles at 60 fps with hand-tuned SSE code. Its author ported it to WebAssembly with Claude Code, and it's now playable in the browser.
