GTA.js, a reimplementation of the 1997 Grand Theft Auto engine in JavaScript and WebGL

Dự án GTA.js tái tạo lại engine của game Grand Theft Auto năm 1997 bằng JavaScript và WebGL, có thể chơi tại gtajs.wtf. Đây là bản reimplement chứ không phải emulator, nên một số vật lý và animation khác với bản gốc, nhưng engine nhiệm vụ chính xác dựa trên tài liệu mtd.doc. Tác giả sử dụng Gemini AI để triển khai hầu hết các tính năng, tham khảo tài liệu mở, ghi chú cộng đồng và trí nhớ cá nhân về game. Hiện tại game đã chơi được nhưng cảnh sát (cops) vẫn chưa được implement.

Lập trình viên nên đọc bài này để khám phá cách tái tạo lại engine game cổ bằng JavaScript và WebGL từ con số không.

Skills across coding assistants

I love Claude Code, but I use it so much that I regularly exhaust my weekly quota before the week ends. When that happens, I usually switch to other free-tier CLIs, e.g., Google Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, and, just last week, Mistral’s Vibe. I really wanted to try Vibe to evaluate the feasibility of moving away from Claude Code in favor of a more sovereign solution. Vibe only offers a single model by default, Mistral Medium 3.5.

Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi

A longtime Claude Code user is switching to the open source harness Pi after accumulating frustrations. Claude Code only lets one session connect to the IDE at a time, a bug reported since December 2025 and closed as a duplicate. The author counts 244 Claude Code releases this year, with over three-quarters changing the system prompt or tool descriptions. Despite trimming 80% of the system prompt, the default Bash tool description still runs almost 3,000 tokens. The author calls Claude Code a product without strong direction and says Pi has been smooth sailing since the first few days.

I made Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity build the same Chrome extension, and only one was a keeper

One prompt was all it took to reveal which AI coding tool understood the assignment best.
