The original iPhone in a browser, PS2 games on WebGPU, and 68k Mac ports
The week of 12 to 18 October on social.omgmog.net had a pile of retro software running in odd places, from the first iPhone in a browser tab to PS2 games on WebGPU. There’s also some Nintendo history, a typeface and a virtual guitar.
iPhone OS 1.0 running in a browser tab via WebAssembly, with slide to unlock and all. No internet or camera yet, but it can be kept offline.
PS2 games recompiled to WebAssembly and drawn with WebGPU. Gran Turismo 4 and God of War II both run so far, which is more than I’d have guessed possible.
Eleven classic Mac programs rebuilt as native macOS apps, including Lemmings, Oregon Trail and Flight Simulator. Kid Pix 2.5 is in there too.
A team of about 15, around 100 analog stick prototypes and a camera that went through thousands of variations. Movement was the whole game.
Craig Hickman’s own history of making Kid Pix, starting well before the software existed.
An open-source monospace typeface family built for code and terminals.
A virtual guitar played by keyboard or touch, which shows which strings each strum hits.
Daily word game where the aim is to give the answer nobody else gives. I scored 1170/2800 on
Now on Android 17, with a new image editor called Canvas. LineageOS turns 10 on 24 December.
