TLDR: here is the github link for Claude's output, as well as a few testing artifacts and the entire transcript conversation between me and Claude Code.
Yesterday, this post from Jonah Glover made it to the top of Hacker News. Can Claude recreate the 1996 Space Jam Website?
The site Claude created is on github pages here: https://tilework-tech.github.io/space-jam/
EDIT: the site above used to host the 'cheating' version of the space jam site. A lot of people seem to not have reading comprehension though, so I switched it to use the 'tiled' version of the space jam site. Please stop dm-ing me.
Additional context: Everybody get up, it's time to slam now, we got a real jam goin down
