Vibe coding like it’s 1999: Flappy Cow

This weekend I vibe coded a tribute to ’90s Gateways, 3Dfx, and DOS with DJGPP, Glide, and Allegro. I originally set up my build environment in DOSBox-X, but then moved to cross-compilation from Linux.

From there I dropped the game into 86Box, which I already had configured with an emulated Voodoo3 3000, for quicker testing.

Finally, I ran it on my Pentium 3 machine with Windows 98 and a real Voodoo3 3000. ChatGPT gets most of the credit for the C code that runs the game, I get credit for the cow voiceover work. 🐄
