A developer used Opus 5.5 to autonomously clone SimCity 2000 into a WebGL low-poly version within days using a single prompt. The model leveraged Ghidra for decompiling original PowerPC code, deployed 27 subagents for parallel execution, and built a Python verification harness running 10,000 game days to ensure identical state logic. This case demonstrates the practical capability of frontier LLMs in complex reverse engineering, multi-agent collaboration, and self-verification loops.

    Opus 5.5 Autonomously Clones SimCity 2000 via Subagents and Decompilation

    Original: Show HN: A modern low-poly SimCity 2000 clone, built by Opus 5.5

    • Single-prompt workflow: From decompiling legacy PowerPC binaries to generating a TypeScript WebGL frontend.
    • Multi-agent collaboration: The model autonomously deployed 27 subagents to parallelize code translation tasks.
    • Self-verification mechanism: Built a Unicorn emulator and Python test harness to validate logic by comparing 10,000 days of game states.
