A developer has recreated the classic QBasic Gorillas game using vanilla JavaScript, Fable, and Opus. This project serves as an engaging method for practicing AI-assisted development techniques and testing models.

The game, originally a staple in QBasic, has been reimplemented with modern web technologies, allowing users to play against each other in a hotseat mode or against an AI opponent. The developer noted that building fun side projects is an effective way to learn and refine skills in AI-assisted development.

This "Repeeled" version of Gorillas offers a nostalgic gaming experience with the added benefit of showcasing the capabilities of contemporary web development tools. The project was shared on Hacker News, highlighting its appeal to developers interested in both retro gaming and modern coding practices.
