About

This is based on a game I wrote for DOS and Windows in 1992.

Last summer, I coded a text version using Turbo Pascal 4.0 in a DOS Box with some ChatGPT help. I wrote most of the code (~600 lines) by hand. ChatGPT wrote a good shuffle algorithm and some music routines.

Now with ChatGPT 5.3 and the CodeX app, I created a PRD from the Pascal code. Then I had it generate a VS Code project. It created the JavaScript app (~700 lines) and related html and css files (another 700 lines.) It compiled and ran first time! I added graphics for the cards and then made changes via CodeX prompts generating a few hundred more lines of code.

I did not write or review any code. It just worked!
