A Vercel intern's project: besides working on Codex, async video and batch support on AI Gateway, he turned the terminal into an arcade for agents—challenge models in 3D ASCII with no GPU, built on an open source game engine. Install with npm i -g ascii-arcade. Vercel's cramforce shared it, praising the "invent new aesthetic" spirit of software engineering internships.
