There's a dead comment asking about the use of the term "clean room". I'm not sure why. I am not entirely certain that deeply analyzing super detailed traces qualifies as "clean room".

Interesting. Looks like he has made a "clean room" clone of TA by pointing AI at it, getting it to reverse engineer it and write some docs, and then have another AI write an implementation based on those docs.

I would be surprised if that stood up in court but I doubt anyone cares for TA at this point anyway.

As long as everything was recreated, and not one bit of the original is used, you could win with the right lawyer (I think, IANAL)

"Dynamic lighting / Bloom / Glow"

Heh. I did my own game engine rewrite project recently, and once it reached parity I started thinking "ok so how can I make it look better?". I also added bloom, and on some level it did look kinda cool but ultimately I decided it was tacky. No offense to OP but I think the graphical "enhancements" here are also pretty tacky (but I totally understand the urge to add them!)

> See the tank catch the blast, glow spread across the scene, and grass and healthy trees gain detail

How is anyone meant to understand this Claude bullshit

Sorry, but I'm not interested in AI slop. I care about stuff humans make, not stuff a machine makes.

JA2 is already open source. Great game, but the community isnt as big now a days.
