Matrix × Mario vibe-coded with a 35B model on 6GB VRAM, full prompt and setup included
BrianScottGregory · reddit · 2026-09-12
A Redditor used Ornith-1.5-35B-Q4KM on a 6GB VRAM laptop with llama.cpp to build a Matrix × Super Mario mashup browser game from almost a single prompt.
Highlights:
- The prompt asks for a complete Mario clone (single-file index.html, keyboard controls) plus one line: swap visuals/characters to Matrix style
- 2 hours total, only minor hand-fixes and one follow-up prompt to fix a character clipping bug
- Full llama-server command, models. config (temp 0.6, topp 0.95, 100K context) and batch setup included
- 24 TPS on laptop, dropping to 7 TPS at 87-88°C or 70% context usage
- Source and playable build both published
