> I have used LLMs to create stuff like word clones just for fun. It was a disaster. Sure, it had the basic functionality. But the moment you started with page structure (harder then one non-stop scrolling page), tables, images, rotating, and so many details that make up just the basics of word. Not even the extended functionality. You see every LLM just fall on its face.

What do you think of https://scramblequest.app and https://wordpeek.app ?

I have never looked at any of the code for them

edit: Yeesh, misread your comment as "word games" not "word clones" and was very confused about the claim. Probably should have noted my confusion and re-read.

I think they might mean Word as in Microsoft Word. Just based on the feature list they were describing.

Are you comparing 2 relatively simple games with... Word?

Word is basically an operating system. Unix people like to make fun of Emacs for being one, but Word is basically one, too. And all the features in there are used, otherwise Microsoft wouldn't keep them around.

>Word is basically an operating system.

And .doc files are basically a memory dump.

[galangalalgol]

That was certainly true once, but now all that state is serialized to xml amd zipped up. You can unzip it and look at it if you don't value your sanity.

[reddalo]

That's why I said .doc. The format you're talking about is called .docx

[oblio]

So what you're saying is that the files are basically a memory dump formatted as XML? :-p

[galangalalgol]

A selective menory dump that when deserialized can ignore fields not present its version, but yeah.

[someguyiguess]

Dump is a great word for it

[furyofantares]

Haha, I misread as "word games" and was very confused about the claim.

Nonsense. Provide/create proper tests for all features, and let the LLM test and fix everything.

In case of ccc (claudes C compiler) they just did not use any tests, though they are many existing C testsuite. They just stopped, when it finished compiling the kernel, still failing hundreds of tests.
