An unfinished game recreation

Berman describes why he started a handheld game recreation and how the AI coding process has unfolded. He estimates it may take a few more days.

At OpenAI DevDay I received a ModRetro handheld, a recreated Game Boy-style device. Super Mario World is one of my favorite games, and I wanted to play it on the handheld, although it was not made for that device.

I tasked GPT-6.1 Sol with recreating the game from scratch for ModRetro. It has been working for more than four days. I describe it as looking at how the game should appear, using documentation it finds online, writing code and comparing the result before iterating; it is not necessarily decompiling, but feels close to me.

I think it might finish in another few days. This is a progress update, not a demonstration that the recreation is complete.
