A 1992 puzzle classic, ported to the browser entirely by Claude Code

WHAT IT SOLVES

Chip's Challenge is a Win 3.1 era puzzle game that barely runs on anything modern

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

Real craft

All 149 levels, fully playable

Not a demo or a 5-level teaser — all 149 levels are here, with chip collection, enemy AI, and exit logic matching the original

AI as the sole developer

Built entirely by Claude Code (Opus 4.8)

kenblum handed the entire porting job to Claude Code. The repo even has a 'behind the scenes' page documenting how Claude built it — the human just set the goal and reviewed the output

Nice touch

Autoplay and manual modes

Besides keyboard controls, there's an autoplay mode where Claude Code plays through the levels itself — AI that writes the game and also plays it

TECH GUESS

Likely Web Canvas + JS, with level data probably extracted from the original ROM
