The Rust frontend, and the SVGs on slot-cfw.fyi, were put together by Claude. I reviewed everything that was produced. All documentation is 100% free-range, meatbag prose.
My goal with this project was to recreate the feeling of playing my GBA SP in the back seat as a kid, but with a few modern creature comforts.
Nothing about this project is exciting or groundbreaking from a technological perspective, and as a result, I delegated the glue code. mGBA and gpSP have been around forever and are the true stars of this show. The incredible skeuomorphic art is the work of Markus, an artist who saw the bare-bones version and offered to dress it up.
I understand if my use of AI is a dealbreaker for you. Just know it's the least interesting part of what's here.
Figured I should share the end result of all the wasted water. ✌🏻
I've spent a lot of time building slot.
If you enjoy using it and feel inclined to pay it forward, go do something nice for someone! ❤️
