It would be nice to have screenshots. Also it’s just a single commit, did you use AI? Quoting the readme: “FPS.cob is what you get when you decide that game development is too easy nowadays”.

I have many projects with 0 commits, meaning were I to use git, it would be a single commit. It does not mean anything.

I hope for their sake that it's an agentic AI experiment.

Why the negativity?

If someone wants to have fun in COBOL, let them have fun in COBOL.

If it’s agentic fun, that’s cool. If it’s an interest in the language, that’s cool. It’s not like you have to have an ROI for a fun side project.

It’s also OK to be turned off by AI use in hobby projects and it is also OK to prefer disclosure of the use of AI in projects so I can make that choice.
