The full story

Continuum was a smooth-scrolling arcade game on the original 128 KB Macintosh in 1984, a technical marvel for its time. The author ported its 68k assembly to JavaScript with heavy help from Claude Code and some Gemini CLI. They found Claude better at porting the assembly and Gemini better at finding bugs, and say they couldn't have done it without AI. The whole game state, including physics, lives in Redux. It's playable at continuumjs.com.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
