Codex builds an "AI Beijing Float Life" game and nails every tech meme portrait
vista8 · x · 2026-10-28
vista8 had Codex build "AI 浮生记", a homage to the classic Chinese game "北京浮生记". Codex showed surprising meme literacy: it used imagegen to create an original set of pixel-art parody portraits of tech figures with their signature memes (GPUs, steaks, strawberries), keeping the retro computer UI consistent. A fun demo of coding agents plus a reusable pixel-asset workflow for retro-style games.
