AI builds Super Mario 64 demake for GBA with bit-identical physics

A developer has created a Super Mario 64 demake for the Game Boy Advance using Anthropic's Claude AI model. The project focused on replicating Mario's physics to be bit-identical to the original, with Claude AI generating the code, tests, and tooling based on the developer's direction. The resulting demo features four levels with software 3D rendering and animated Mario, though it has limitations such as not running on real hardware and lacking enemies or textures. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's capability in code generation for game development, potentially accelerating prototyping.
