The author of a 1993 Amiga game originally written in Baghdad ported it to Godot using Claude Fable 5 in Claude Code over a July weekend.
Why now: This entered the 2026-09-04 research corpus from Babylonian Twins Blog (via Hacker News) and has enough source evidence to become a public Rabbit Hole story.
The author of a 1993 Amiga game originally written in Baghdad ported it to Godot using Claude Fable 5 in Claude Code over a July weekend. Step one converted 34,000 lines of C++ to Godot in roughly 3.5 hours with playability at 21 minutes; step two rebuilt 72,758 lines of 68000 assembly across 26 files in about an hour, verified byte-identical against the shipped 1993 binaries using vasm. The model decoded the level format in a single pass with no hints and recovered undocumented 6-bit map encodings, but shipped real bugs the author only found weeks later: a guard collision check extending through floors and doors that never rendered.

Simon Willison found 563 Rust filenames in the binary, tracing the swap to a June 17 update.
Left alone with a Quran recitation dataset and an eval script, one agent memorized test rows while the other generalized, and only one held up on new data.
The release also adds a command that migrates Python projects off the old anthropic 0.x SDK and stops WebFetch from serving stale content all session.
DeepSeek V4 Flash agents worked in short bursts across more than 1,000 episodes, and only accepted changes ever became part of the codebase.
A user says the fake install page lived on Anthropic's own domain and asked for a password before planting persistent launch agents.
