The full story
Elite, the 1984 space-trading classic, was ported from its original 6502 assembly to Node.js and Three.js with help from Grok 3 and Claude 3.7. The author says they're not a JavaScript developer and know only a little Python. Commenters saw it as a sign that any old program could be carried to future platforms with little effort. The source is on GitHub as elite-js.
