He built a Command and Conquer style real time strategy game called Battle Drones, mainly using AI. The game runs in the browser and includes device to device multiplayer over an audio link.
Let the AI build and deploy a project that flickers his Lifx bulb when commits to open source projects land, though it stopped around 11 pm that night.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI can create, snapshot, delete, start and restart VMs on his garage Proxmox box and spin up spot instances for hardware tests he does not have locally.
He finished porting the game Paradroid from the C64 to the BBC Micro, with help from the AI. Anyone can download the disk, play it in an emulator, or read through the code.
He gave the AI a CAD file he could not even open, plus a few measurements he took with digital calipers. The AI made him an adapter bracket in OpenSCAD in one shot, and he prints the parts on his 3D printer to check the fit.
He merged five scattered file messes into one, then the AI and an LLM wiki in Obsidian reviewed and cataloged everything. He says knowing what is in it and how to get it back matters more than tidy storage.
A man speaks voice notes into a smart ring during the day, and the AI sorts each note and sends it to the right place: memos and to-dos go to kintone, and answers come back on Slack and are read aloud. Every morning at 6 it sends him a summary of the day before, with the weather, the town garbage day, and what to take with him.
