Porting my 1993 Amiga game to Godot, with an LLM reading the 68000 assembly

2026-09-03 @ 14:28:18Points: 321Comments: 106

I spent the last few weeks analyzing what Claude did, feeding it my 33 years of memory of how I built the game, my notes and the git repos. It wrote the first draft of the article, and I edited line by line over a week. The screenshots of my 1993 map editor is the first I have run it since then. The one thing I never verified myself is the 108-byte explanation.

"Before starting everything, the model assembled the code using vasm on my Mac, and kept going till the binary is byte-identical to the binaries I had in my original game. Even after that, the there was mismatch of about 108 bytes. I originally used AsmOne which assembles into memory, and the game saved into the disk by saving that memory after running the game. So the original shipped files are a snapshot of the game that had already been running, not clean asm-one output."

Please post any questions. I am also releasing the original game for free.

Show HN: Reactor Atlas

2026-09-03 @ 12:33:01Points: 42Comments: 21

Now I'm joining my scientific background with my entrepreneurial inclinations to think of problems related to the energy industry. Nuclear is experiencing a renaissance now (it was in a dark age when I was studying after the Fukushima event) so I think this is the right moment for me to jump again into the field.

Reactor atlas is an interactive nuclear reactor map and an intelligence layer on top of it. The basic layer indexes:

  - power reactors
  - research reactors
  - fuel facilities
with their history and projection, by country. The project is solving a fragmented information ecosystem, where operational and commercial data is hard to conciliate. Also, I'm monitoring nuclear news associated with each of the facilities, political declarations that may affect the nuclear landscape and geo-phisical news (like earthquakes) that could affect operation. On top of the operational + news layer, I'm creating an intelligence layer that will help institutions of different types make faster decisions by subscribing to very specific alerts.

As an engineer, I used to code in fortran and c++ when I was working at CNEA, and later I participated in the first Rather Labs projects architecting complex async systems, mostly using MERN stack. I'm no longer coding anymore. I'm focused on designing robust systems with AI agents.

I mainly used Claude Fable 5.1 to develop reactoratlas.com, deploying on vercel and using mostly nextjs, threejs, postgreSQL and some cron jobs to query and update data. I miss coding as in the old days, but I haven't code a single line in this project. And I strongly believe we humans shouldn't code anymore: our responsibility is now on designing and supervising AI systems.

Thanks for your attention!

Ask HN: Who is using MCP in production?

If you’re using MCP in production, what are you using it for? What advantages have you found over a normal API or direct tool integration or just CLI?
