Recreating the Moto E770 Breakout Game with a Coding Agent in 10 Minutes
Shao Meng used a Coding Agent to recreate "Breakout," the first WAP browser game on the Moto E770, in just over 10 minutes, and even simulated the phone's casing. He mentioned that the phone, which he saved up for a whole semester to buy during his freshman year, was lost in one of his moves, and after more than a decade it certainly can't be powered on. He had previously said he wanted to remake the lost little games he played as a child and during his school years, so that his son, born in the 2010s, could get to know them.

When I first learned programming after graduating in 2009, I was so happy that I could write a Minesweeper or a 1024 myself, and I'd play what I wrote for half a day... I remember it was still Flex and Silverlight back then, and that's when I started getting especially interested in front-end development, all the way to now. Looking back now, these programs are basically little things that Claude Code / Codex can handle in a few minutes, and they don't even require much thinking! Suddenly I had an idea: I want to remake all the little games I found fun as a child and during my school years that have now been lost, and let my son, a kid born in the 2010s, know just how happy his dad was as a child!! Let's start with the first WAP browser game installed on my first phone, the Moto E770. I remember it was called: Breakout?

看到这个街头霸王，80 后的童年记忆回来了！ 确实很感慨，09 年毕业后刚学编程时，自己能写个扫雷、写的 1024 就好开心，写出来自己能玩半天 ... 那时记得还是 Flex 和 Silverlight，也是那时开始对前端特别感兴趣，一直到现在。 现在再回看，这些程序，基本都是 Claude Code / Codex 几分钟就能搞定的小玩意，甚至不咋需要思考！ 突然有个想法，我想把自己小时候和上学时觉得好玩的，现在已经失传的小游戏们，重新做一遍，也让儿子这个 10 后知道知道，他爸小时候有多开心！！ 先从我第一个手机 Moto E770 装的第一个 WAP 页游开始吧，记得叫做：打砖块？

So many memories are flooding back—the Moto E770 that I saved up for a whole semester during my freshman year to finally buy!
The first game was "Breakout." That phone was lost long ago during one of my moves, and after more than a decade it definitely wouldn't power on anymore.
Now I recreated it with a Coding Agent in just over 10 minutes, and I even simulated my phone's casing into it. As you get older, it's easy to get sentimental—those really were four wonderful years! https://t.co/viH2GzkTu2
