Mod Pac-Man for two-player co-op and load it onto an arcade cabinet

Claude Code modified Pac-Man into a horizontal two-player co-op game with Ms. Pac-Man and a speed boost, and loaded it onto the user's Mistercade cabinet.

What They Did: Benj Edwards gave Claude Code a single prompt. It asked for Pac-Man modified to a horizontal display with two-player co-op, Ms. Pac-Man as player 2, and one button as a speed boost. The prompt also gave the IP address of his Mistercade cabinet on the local network. The post doesn't describe the steps Claude took or any intervention from him.
How It Went: About two hours later, Claude reported the game was loaded and ready to play. The post gives no details on how well it played or what needed fixing.
Worth Knowing: The post says it took about two hours. The only access Claude was given was the cabinet's network address.

Try it yourself with Claude Code

Take this open-source [classic game, e.g. Pac-Man] project in [folder or repo URL] and modify it into a [two-player co-op] version with [specific changes, e.g. a second character and a speed boost]. Run it locally to confirm it plays correctly, then package it in the format my [arcade cabinet or device] needs and tell me how to copy it over. Pause and show me the plan before you overwrite or delete any files.
