Hackaday • • technology
Key Points:
- [Ready Z80] successfully created a functioning Wordle game using the French-named LLM Claude, despite the model not being specifically trained on 40-year-old opcodes.
- The project utilized the TEC-1G single-board computer, a retrocomputer inspired by the 1980s TEC-1 design from the Australian magazine "Talking Electronics."
- Claude demonstrated some initial overconfidence by suggesting nonexistent instructions but corrected itself after guidance from [Ready Z80].
- The development process involved detailed, step-by-step instructions rather than broad commands, highlighting the importance of human expertise in guiding the LLM.
- This interaction with Claude resembles working with a summer intern, requiring patience and iterative corrections to achieve the desired outcome.
