It still feels great to play! I love the history too, it's actually a great example of why prototyping "toys" is so important in product development. It allows you to play with isolated concepts without baggage or the expectation to make things production grade. Just getting straight to the point.
I'd say you're fully off the mark here. That page contains serious architectural insight on how to make a "designed" car feeling work within a "physically correct" collision engine. Getting the balance right is super hard and he explains how to do it. I'm confident no AI could do that architecture, so this is most likely hours of hard work with a thin layer of LLM gloss on top.
No, I don't want to see the prompt. Yes it has some llm tics, but it's clear that he went back and forth before arriving at this. Why would I be interested in the transcript?
>One weekend in late August 1996, I wrote a 2D physics simulation which later became the basis of the vehicle system in the eventually popular game "Grand Theft Auto" aka "GTA".
I don't mean to be... judgemental, but if you had the talent to go something like this, why devolve on the remake? One could think that a person with your level of skill would be one of the main vanguard for hand coding. Again, I don't want to be too judgemental, as I am not a great programmer and use assisted tools when planning and designing personal apps, but I am just curious.
Why needlessly do extra work when it's easier than ever before to modernize what is already made? Why would he want to be a vanguard for "hand coding"?
It's an interesting project, although not a physics expert I am so curious what the original version looked like!

Great story, programming and mechanics.
This is what taught me how to do handbrake turns.
And shortly after I learned how expensive tyres were, I stopped doing handbrake turns.
Feels like the original, just need some thing to run over.
no dynamics model (uses bicycle model) but i built a solver for parking

Pangram says the first half is human and second half is gen AI.
Ran out of steam, I guess...

Sometimes the reward lies in the doing, not in the done.
And for that same reason people knit their own scarves but they don't expect the scarf they see at the store to be hand knit.
He's already done the doing.
