Same, however I do conceed having the whole assembler toolchain written in Python was also kind of cool, even if it may have been AI generated.
replyEven cooler would have been to have the 6502 directly generated from the LLM.
so... it is vibe-code?

Yes. The author mentions Claude for testing, but it was obviously used for the README and code as well.
replyThis is a giveaway for AI generation, from the docstring to the terrible opcode dispatch (Claude sucks at assembly or low-level optimization): https://github.com/gizmo64k/soulplayer-c64/blob/main/src/cpu...
A human would use a proper dispatch table and wouldn't make excuses for a sloppy implementation ("Python is fast enough").
Besides, the author has an art and design background, which doesn't seem to match the deep knowledge of Transformers or assembly required for such a project.
