The full story
Claude Chat knew what Atari's Battlezone was, including its sound effects, and copied most of the game. The maker asked it to add a diamond that gives the player's tank extra armour when driven into.
To stay playable on slow Android tablets, Kindles and phones, Wire Tank doesn't copy the Atari graphics. A tap of an arrow key turns the tank a useful amount to line up a shot and holding it rotates; enemies appear on radar and only fire once in line of sight. Touch controls work in Firefox and Chrome on Android.
