The full story
G-Diffuser is the PC port of the F-Zero X decompilation. One person directed while Claude agents wrote all the code to bring it to the Nintendo 3DS, taking 11 weeks from first research to multiplayer. Version 0.9 hit a 59.6 fps median with stereoscopic 3D on the New 3DS, and version 1.0 added the original 3DS. The post-mortem covers how the work was guided, and the author's mix of amazement and dread.
