Faithful Python port of Morloc's Tower (Apple II, 1979) running in your browser, now also being played 24/7 by LLMs
I've reverse-engineered the 1979 BASIC code for Morloc's Tower - same 29 rooms across 6 floors, same monsters, same treasure locations, same combat math, same hit/miss rolls. The map data is loaded straight from the original .dat binary; I added pixel-art sprites, an animated spectator mode, and a replay system that saves every run.
What makes it weird: I have a roster of LLMs that play it on a schedule, and the leaderboard is split between humans and agents. It's Us vs Them and so far the humans are way ahead while only one model has ever beaten the game. You can play (free, no install — just sign in), watch agents try and fail, or browse saved replays.
