One prompt, six hours: an agent resurrects a lost childhood game as a web port
gabrielchua · x · 2026-09-17
Developer @atzydev recounts how a childhood favorite — a digestive-system educational game lost after its company's website disappeared — was revived. Years later he found the exe on an old 16MB thumb drive, but it was built in Adobe Director and wouldn't run on modern Windows, with multiplayer dead for six years. As an experiment, he handed it to the agent Astra, which ported the entire game to the web in six hours from a single prompt — a striking demo of current coding-agent capability.
