I am going to try to build the original Prince of Persia using Swift as it is the best language for building a macOS game. Being a classic 2D cinematic platformer, Apple's native frameworks provide exactly what I need without the overhead of a massive cross-platform engine, and I love simplicity
So here goes my weekend, flag this and get a life

  Share it when you're done! Even if it isn't complete complete.

    Sorry about the delay, some bugs to swat
    2 hours later and $2 in tokens, Prince of Persia in Swift 6 for MacOS is ready (MacMini M1 and Tahoe 26.6.2 is my setup)
    Not fully tested by me (AI tested it fully on every milestone, ~340 tests) but for sure tonight I'll do it from beginning to end
    Let me know what you think, feedback is always welcome
    And btw, cmd+1..5 can change the resolution to a bigger canvas, I prefer it at cmd+5 almost full screen. Haven't tested retina display as I use a TV as monitor and resolution is not optimal
    Enjoy!
    * I love DeepSeek
    * All rights belong to their owners
    * Interesting docs to read: readme, architecture and prompt
    * There is an app in build folder, that's the game
    * Don't trust code downloaded from the internet, ask your AI model of choice to review it for malicious code. I trust DeepSeek, but you shouldn't trust me

    Adding respawn and saving last level so restart takes you there and not to the beginning
    I forgot where the sword is, can't pass the first guard, hmm
