Why are people still upvoting obvious AI slop garbage?

1. Claude couldn’t do a proper fence algorithm for the walls?

2. Controls feel horrible.

3. It’s literally impossible to catch Pac-Man? You do not move fast enough and the Pac-Man AI is programmed for perfection so it does not make deliberate mistakes for the human player to take advantage of.

4. The tile based movement is not smooth, very stuttery.

Fine for a prototype, but we could do so much better. This is not a particular hard game to code up in an afternoon or even an hour if you’re experienced.

I caught him! So it's definitely possible. You move a little bit faster than he does so you need to anticipate where he's going.

Because it looks good enough to "pass". People are consuming low quality content all the time.

  It’s literally impossible to catch Pac-Man?
Not true.

  You do not move fast enough
Not true.

  the Pac-Man AI is programmed for perfection
So is it slop or programmed for perfection, which one is it? :)

Just down vote and move on. You're helping them generate better slop by providing input like this

It's not impossible. I just did. You just have to corner the man into an impossible situation. But I agree on the AI-slop or lack of quality production.
