The full story
In 2019 the author posted Aim and Shoot on Hacker News. It's a browser shooter where each enemy is a neural network evolved by a genetic algorithm between rounds, and the thread left lots of feedback they never acted on. This year they gave Claude Code the old thread and the repository and worked through it. Players now get full health each round, the game-over screen shows your round and best, the gun is quieter (and M mutes it), and enemies no longer spawn on top of you.
