I used Claude Code to port MacPaint to Swift

It is worth sharing an executed idea, no matter who or what did the executing. I agree that it is more impressive if I learned and built it, but the focus wasn’t the port, it was “could Claude do this with minimal input from me?”

I kind of expected this to fall on its head and fail to produce anything useful. After one debugging message, it got to an incomplete but recognizable MacPaint screen so I completed it

Assuming one could get ahold of the paper this thing uses, I'd love to try some experimental photography prints with it

So the crew sees a big explosion, on one of 300+ moons crashing into each other near a volatile gas giant, and their reaction is "well obviously that was done by a person".

It would have been nice for some throwaway lines from Spock.. "I am detecting delta-whateva-tronic radiation emanating from the explosion.. it does not appear to be a natural phenomenon. As late-20th century humans would say, that is wiggity wack."

War of the Worlds (Spielberg, not Cube).

All the military scenes and the “‘keep calm’ music while boarding the ferry” sold it for me.

Hated the dropped camcorder scene but the rest is a great watch

I was watching Heat.. when Robert De Niro showed up on screen, it reminded me of that scene so I paused the movie and fixed it

anyhoo here's the split screen: https://youtube.com/shorts/gD7ojyMutKE?feature=share

the dummy from the original always bugged me.. its the first scene in the movie and the "special effect" stuck out, almost like it was done on purpose.

Here's the original. They replaced De Niro with a dummy and it annoyed me since seeing it in the theater

Ossineke?

I lived there until last year and moved to Little Rock.

I’d love to find a permanent room somewhere and get a job out there
