The full story
A Digispark ATtiny85 that plays the Chrome dinosaur game by itself. Two light-sensor boards on the monitor detect obstacles, and the board acts as a USB keyboard to jump or duck, so no software on the computer and no mechanical button pusher is needed. Timing adapts as the game speeds up.
The maker used Claude Code during development and Codex for review, and did the hardware testing and calibration by hand.
