Claude Talk with Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

Claude.ai actually makes programming fun. It’s like an eager puppy wanting to join you for a walk every day. An AI companion that is smart, fast, and very complimentary.

App Store - 25% Off - Memorial Day / Battle of Midway 83rd Anniversary Sale

I’m finding the AIs can be frustrating because they are so divergent. They’ll throw stuff away and break things and go off on tangents. It’s like herding cats if you give them 6 files and several thousand lines to work on.

I’m old and retired so I can write games that don’t sell, and I have been. ;)

A nice review on Steam.

“Awesome that this game is finally back! We used to play it non-stop back in the day. There are tons of settings and variations in the two-player arcade mode 🔥”

The Lexington and Saratoga off Honolulu. The Royal Hawaiian hotel is the largest building on Waikiki.

The Hornet in October 1941. She would be sunk a year later at the Battle of Santa Cruz.

The Lexington off Waikiki in 1933

A carrier and three heavy cruisers in a gun battle with Tulagi.

For my upcoming game I vectorized a hand-drawn pre-war map with Inkscape. After adjusting the line thickness to my liking, I exported it as a png and run-length encoded it into ASCII. MAGA!

Claude Talk with Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic

Claude.ai is remarkably helpful. It wrote some C, C++ and Swift for me. It’s good with geometry and most coding problems. It couldn’t write an A* pathfinder to save its life, but it was able to point me to an excellent open source one.

How retro are you? I’m going full MAGA - Make ASCII Great Again!

I love how monstrous keyboards were in the 80s!

I built the H19 terminal version as a kit. It was fun to build and it looked very cool with its green phosphor. I used a 300 baud acoustic coupler modem to dial in to UC Berkeley. Those were the days!

Cool video! I’m going to release my next game on steam as well as the App Store. I hope steam players like retro! Because this next game is as retro as it gets.
