Show HN: Super Dario
- starik36 3mo agoNice and clever!
- thatxliner 3mo agoa perfect representation of the situation
- m_w_ 3mo ago+1 for the claude icon fire bars
- GaggiX 3mo agoSomeone didn't know how to use the remaining credits.
- thepasch 3mo agoThe heavy lifting was done by Opus. I wouldn't burn precious soon-to-be-departing Fable usage on this!
- andrew_ocs 3mo agoI wouldnt be so sure Fable wouldnt just refuse to do this
- thepasch 3mo agoI mean, technically, "I selected Fable for this task" and "Opus did the heavy lifting" aren't mutually exclusive statements...?
- forestingfisher 3mo agoCan’t believe this doesn’t already exist.
- dhg72 3mo agoThere are plenty of critiques of the AI labs but it's a bit ironic leveling criticism in a game which was obviously one-shotted by their models and which would never have been made without AI
- androiddrew 3mo agoA model harness can launch a bagillion sub agents and we still call it one shotting.
- zahlman 3mo ago... And why shouldn't we? The system still responded to a single prompt, and we still took its first submitted candidate.
- ipsum2 3mo agoThat's part of the joke.
- gordon_freeman 3mo agowho needs this AI-genrated game for real though? Would not I rather play the real Mario instead? this is clearly part of the joke!
- deleted 3mo ago[deleted]
- croes 3mo agoFighting them with their own weapons isn’t ironic it’s poetic justice
- seattle_spring 3mo ago[flagged]
- pixelpanic 3mo agothis guy fits better, I guess: https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/videos/04iSw6696vB87oalql1hb5o/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1620567050.png https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/videos/04iSw6696vB87oa...
- einpoklum 3mo agoThis reminded me of how much I suck at side-scroller arcade games. I keep missing those coins and falling off ledges... :-( Good thing I have a day job. Where I don't use AI.
- jake_and_fatman 3mo agoAbsolute fire. Love how Deepseek tortoise shell can only be slowed, not killed.
- seydor 3mo agoThe game must be banned for 6 months
- andrew_ocs 3mo agoI think you should try submitting it to anthropic community :) https://claude.com/community#:~:text=What,Claude%3F https://claude.com/community#:~:text=What,Claude%3F
- thepasch 3mo agoI'll... uh, do it next week!
- helloplanets 3mo agoShouldn't the valuation be in Bs instead of Ms?
- jagged-chisel 3mo agoNumbers look bigger when multiplied by one thousand
- thepasch 3mo agoGrab that coin and you'll get there!
- dude250711 3mo agoLike political satire, only in IT.
- goldenarm 3mo agoFunny idea but wow the gameplay is terrible and full of bugs. Bad hitboxes, shells that bounce in front of holes, bad physics. AI still cannot oneshot 2D platformers, the most documented videogame genre with so much source code available.
- slopinthebag 3mo agoNot to mention it feels like 30hz on my 120hz monitor. It's actually impressive how it managed to mess that up. But yeah guys, AI sure will be writing all the code just give it another 6 months...
- tavavex 3mo agoIt feels like each new SOTA model brings the average quality a bit closer to the asymptote of well-made non-vibecoded software but it can't quite cross it.
- nsxwolf 3mo agoJust amazing how right a few people at Nintendo got this in 1985, and its still so easy to get it absolutely wrong.
- reactordev 3mo agoNintendo wasn’t even trying, it was all their old sprite characters from Japan market that didn’t do well smashed together in a rushed title for an NA launch. It surprised them.
- Wowfunhappy 3mo agoHuh? This is very much not my understanding of SMB1’s development. Are you maybe thinking of Donkey Kong (made to replace a failed arcade game) and/or the US version of SMB2 (a re-skinned non-Mario Japanese game)?
- 3mo ago
- mrkeen 3mo agoThis game was so good, it's as if the developer was given a team of PhD-level experts to work on it.
- Waterluvian 3mo agoHaters will suggest AI built this, but I can personally tell there’s at least a kilomolyneux (approx. 55 centikojimas) of PhD-level game dev expertise involved.
- thepasch 3mo agoOkay, so, maker here! I was expecting this to drown in the flood of /newest, so seeing so many folks get a chuckle out of this is a very pleasant surprise. The obvious spark for this was yesterday's second last-minute extension of the Fable promotional window (a phrase comprised of two heavily strained words at this point), and an hour or so of back-and-forth with GLM-5.2 and Opus later, here we are. The game is, of course, unwinnable on purpose. There is no ending. The flag always escapes, the date always extends, and new GPT releases will continue to wipe your valuation no matter how many coins or funding round power-ups you collect. The win condition is closing the tab because you're tired of it, which I'd argue makes it the most realistic AI-industry simulation currently available on the internet. The code is, of course, vibe-slopped, most of the imagery is original human-slop (or sourced from icon libraries). Happy to answer any and all questions and take any and all flak. The bugs are a part of the joke, I swear!
- humam_alhusaini 3mo agoThis is great lol Can you release a version playable on mobile?
- thepasch 3mo agoYeah, on it right now! Should be up within the hour. edit: It's up!
- kylehotchkiss 3mo agoLevel 10 government subsidy invincible mode
- thepasch 3mo agogotta save some ideas for the sequel
- frankdenbow 3mo agowell done, got a good laugh out of this one.
- 3mo ago
- Cider9986 3mo agoNo mobile support.
- parl_match 3mo agoThanks for your contribution.
- thepasch 3mo agoOn-screen controls are live!
- m132 3mo agoNow all that's missing is being able to move and jump at once
- sherlock-holmes 3mo agoincredible
- salahadawi 3mo agoNew Gemini model! Nobody cares. With the Gemini power-up falling off the screen got a chuckle out of me
- mchusma 3mo agoThis was my favorite as well.
- kaeruct 3mo agoWhy do the coins spin faster when I move?
- kridsdale1 3mo agoMomentum. And / or Special Relativity.
- sajithdilshan 3mo agoThe game is really cool, but I'm a bit dissapoint by the music. I want the original them song. Also the fact that the game is never ending bothers my OCD
- dancemethis 3mo agoI mean, Sam should be more of a ghoul with those creepy sunken eyes. And Dario that guy with hair on the sides.
- deleted 3mo ago[deleted]
- meken 3mo agoThe music reminds me of Mappy Land (one of my favorite childhood games).
- thepasch 3mo agoNo credit to me for that! Got it off of here: https://opengameart.org/content/bonus-round-8bit https://opengameart.org/content/bonus-round-8bit
- _s_a_m_ 3mo agohahaahhahahahahahahahahahah
- slicendice 3mo agoAbsolutely hilarious
- CrzyLngPwd 3mo agoI wonder which model built it :-)
- neural_thing 3mo agoIf you like tech-themed games, I made Good Til Canceled for GTC - check it out - https://goodtilcanceled.com/ https://goodtilcanceled.com/
- ryandrake 3mo agoDesktop Safari 18.6 / Mac: Nice, but none of the text on the signs are readable. Just appears as unreadable dots. Also the music doesn't work on Safari. Firefox works great!
- thepasch 3mo agoAgh, sorry about that. I had no Mac around to test this on, though I might be able to get one by proxy. I'll try to get it fixed.
- kridsdale1 3mo agoSame bug in iOS 27 chrome.
- aliasxneo 3mo agoWow, my entire feelings on this series of events summed up in a single game. Extra rich its vibe coded. We need more of this.
- clutter55561 3mo agoThis wins the internet this week!
- jdw64 3mo agoAfter playing this game, I think it's time to launch 'vibe game design.' Now that the code is solved, it's time to release 'vibe game design,' 'vibe music design,' and 'vibe control design' for serious game design
- danielrmay 3mo agoFor all of the advertising of GPT 5.6 in this charming little game, the chatgpt.com UI has failed to load in the past several hours for me
- geoffbp 3mo agoOpen source it? :-)
- nico 3mo agoOmg, so funny! I can’t believe I played this for like 5 min straight Are those little Sam Altmans?! Love the power ups: tokenmaxxing, usage reset
- ashish004 3mo agoOut of all AI slops, this is best one and depicts what Dario's AI (Claude) is capable of.
- ecollis6 3mo agoI see your super dario and raise you doctor dario: https://doctordario.ai https://doctordario.ai
