Crack Attack! is a classic open source puzzle game that's included in many Linux distro repositories. I first played it around 20 years ago, and I've been hooked since.
I wanted to see if an LLM could port it to run in the browser. I suggested recompiling it with Emscripten, but the LLM decided to rewrite it in TypeScript instead, using the original code as a reference. I had to prompt it a bunch to fix some gameplay and rendering differences, but I think the current version is very close to the original.
Anyway, maybe some of you remember this game and will want to try this version.
