It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.

The major breakthrough here is a method for interfacing brain like organic tissue (that they had already developed) with electronic components. They’re using the brain tissue in a similar fashion as a neural network based AI and training it to relay signals to electronic components in response to certain stimuli, if I understood the article correctly; I skimmed quite a bit though.

Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.

you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”. at best its a feature that was being tested internally and never would have made it past that, at worst its something that went live early.
