The full story
The Apollo 11 guidance computer source code from 1969 is public on GitHub, complete with jokey comments and file names such as BURN_BABY_BURN for the ignition sequence. The maker first asked Opus 4.6 to explain it, then decided to build something playable.
The result is a browser emulator of the computer's DSKY display and keyboard, with scenarios such as the landing that let you follow the mission from the computer's side.
