Rebuilding Gorillas with AI-Assisted Dev
TonyAlicea10 · hn · 2026-07-16
This is a Show HN project where the author rebuilt the classic QBasic Gorillas using vanilla JS + Fable + Opus. It supports local 1v1 multiplayer or playing against the computer.
The author emphasizes that "fun little projects" like this are among the best ways to practice AI-assisted development and test model capabilities. They are specific enough to force you to iterate, debug, and edit within real code.
The project also includes some extra camera effects (camera snazz), making it a blend of playability and a development experiment.
