The AI helped me port a 1989 game to the 3DS, and two more

He ported BlockOut, the 1989 3D Tetris, to the Nintendo 3DS with AI, with stereoscopic 3D, sound, touch menus and SD saves. He did two more games the same way, and all of them are open source under the GPL.

How it works

  1. Ports BlockOut to the 3DS with AI
  2. Adds stereoscopic 3D, sound, touch menus and SD card saves
  3. Releases it and two more ports as open source under the GPL

Why it’s worth knowing

A 1989 game now runs on a 3DS with 3D and touch menus, ported with an AI's help and given away as open source.
