I really don't understand what the point of it is, then. It's not anymore "I put a lot of effort into something because I have the knowledge, experience and time to do so, hope you enjoy", it's like "I paid AI tokens to to that. Everyone could've done, but I paid with my own pocket. And it's untested.". That's it?

> "Yes, I used Google Anti-Gravity to convert the programs from GW-BASIC to 'C', but what a better learning tool than to debug a program?"

Debugging a program is an excellent learning tool. It's just not better than another learning tool: coding the program yourself. :)

People who want to show off their mindless slop ought to be shamed for wasting other peoples' time.

I was really hoping to see something interesting as I learned to code from a similar book of basic games.

Well, let's be careful about that. The owner of the repository probably didn't ask for it to be submitted to HN and probably wasn't looking for public attention; perhaps they were merely playing around. The onus is strictly on the submitter here.

		Good point. The OP should definitely be subject to some kind of punishment. Maybe force them to listen to Ace of Base's second album on repeat a few times?
