Reverse-engineer a 1997 PC game and make it run on modern hardware
Claude Code got an old DirectX game running on modern hardware, decompiled much of it, built a headless parallel runner, and now writes full level guides with screenshots.
A developer wired Gemini's Computer Use model to Playwright in Java and had it play a simple button-clicking game to verify click-coordinate scaling.
A developer wired Gemini's Computer Use model to Playwright in Java and had it play a simple button-clicking game to verify click-coordinate scaling.
Guillaume Laforge built a Java loop around Gemini's computer-use preview model and Playwright's headless Chromium, with a 1000x1000 viewport. The model got a screenshot after every action and returned click actions with coordinates on a normalized 1000x1000 grid. His code scaled those to the viewport and clicked. He built a simple game where a red button moves after each click, and told the agent to click it 10 times and read the score.
The agent clicked the moving button and reported a final score of 10, which confirmed the click handling and coordinate scaling worked. The source mentions no failures in this test.
Send a fresh screenshot to the model after every action, and wait about a second first so the page has finished rendering. Otherwise the model sees a blank or half-drawn page.
Use browser control to open [URL of a simple web game] and play it by looking at screenshots and clicking, for about [number] moves. Report whether your clicks landed where you intended, and note any mismatch between screenshot coordinates and actual click positions. Stop when you've finished the moves and summarize how it went.
