The full story

Fractetris holds two complete recreations of the original Game Boy Tetris, both based on the commented assembly code. The top level is a C version compiled to WebAssembly. Inside every one of its pixels runs a GLSL shader that also implements the full original game with an AI player making virtual inputs: 23,040 games at once. The author planned it and Claude Fable wrote the code. The tileset was generated with Gemini to avoid copyrighted assets.

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.
