Single Page Apps & NetHackHTML launched

I have launched Single-Page-Apps.com which I plan to use as a warehouse for all the short single function apps & other things I either hand program or have Claude Code help me with.

The first of the Single Page Apps is a Claude Code experiment I did over the weekend. I have always like the Rouge type games on old systems going back to the Prime VAX time sharing mainframe that I had access to back in college in the late 80s. Gist of the game is you play an adventurer and move through a randomly generated maze fighting monsters, finding treasure, and eventually escaping dying in battle. Anyhow… one of the best versions was NetHack which I vaguely remember being told was taking up too much of “MY” time on SBU’s computer system. Anyhow.. I’ve also been using Claude Code for augmented programming and doing the BS work that plagues all programming. So I found the source of NetHack at GitHub https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack/tree/NetHack-3.7 and pointed Claude at it with the prompt of

Convert this classic ascii dungeon crawler into a web based HTML / Javascript game. https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack

And that was it. Nothing else. What came out the first time 5 minutes later was pretty damn good. I re-prompted Claude to add one bit of functionality … show all the keys on a HELP page when they play presses ‘?’

You can see play the result here https://www.single-page-apps.com/netHack/nethack-web.html

I plan on posting more single page apps soon… I have a ton of day to say helper apps that while not as powerful as CyberChef come in handy a lot.
