But I experimented with the GitHub Copilot app and Claude Opus 4.8 to take id Software's original source, compiled the software renderer to WebAssembly with Emscripten.The cool part: I added support for procedurally generated levels. So after you clear a level, the slipgate opens and you move onto the next random one......

+1 on contacting your senator(s). I was stuck in a bit of an immigration nightmare once and they helped get it fast tracked, connect me with the best attorney for my particular situation. Be sure to mention you’re married and have kids :)

Related, here's a video of an ascension w/ commentary in ~ 1hr 50mins by Mikko Joula (aka Adeon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIB0y_kwFuY. It was filmed at the annual Roguelike Celebration at GitHub HQ.

Another entertaining talk from that event, more focused on the code: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_IAdOwaYs&t=1258s

All of the talks (if you like roguelikes, gamedev, or programming in general): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKv_QzXft4mD6TXmQBZtzIA/vid...
