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
