Weekend Project: Oregon Trail for Wear OS & Web

Heya folks, I posted in here a couple weeks ago about how I ported SimCity to run on my Wear OS watch. I had a lot of fun doing that project, so I decided to take on another game from my childhood, Oregon Trail. Specifically, this version was inspired by the 1985 Apple II version I'd played in the computer lab in elementary school. At first, I used emulation, but realized the control scheme differed too much so I pivoted to recreating the game for the watch UI based on online documentation of the features. Claude didn't do a great job with the graphics, so I had it generate art prompts which I stuck into ChatGPT, which did a great job. Source code an APK available on my GitHub: github.com/webrender/oregon-trail-wear-os In addition, Claude was able to port the game to wasm pretty easily, so you can also play it on the web: webrender.net/oregon-trail-wear-os
