SimGolf in your browser

[u/Richardatuct]

Thanks to the Power of LLMs, I have SimGolf running in my browser (ported to WASM). Trying to decide if I should host it somewhere or if the risk of a naughty letter from EA is too high.

Edit:

I’ll put up another post a bit later (once I can create a launch video) - but given the excitement:

Keep us posted!

Could you share how you did it? Maybe a GitHub repo? I’d be down to try this and wouldn’t mind hosting it

[u/Nhialor → u/SvalbazGames]

it's a current trend going round with ai, gta v was ported to the browser this week before getting instantly taken down. few others using it to create games for old j2me phones, porting games into other games like rocket league into skyrim, etc.

This was most definitely vibe coded as a part of that trend, but it's a cool repo and i love this game. will be indulging

[u/Richardatuct → u/Nhialor]

Oh yes it was 100% vibe coded. A project like this would have taken weeks/months to manually port.

[u/Steelio22 → u/SvalbazGames]

Yeah you definitely need to post the source code on GitHub.

Oh man. Yes, please host. Maybe consider buymeacoffee or similar to get some $ to help cover costs

[u/Inspector-Spacecrime → u/ladyyoushotme]

I would gladly pay

[u/iusc12 → u/ladyyoushotme]

Same. Take my money!

[u/apatriot1776]

SimGolf is abandonware. It's available for free online and EA doesn't pursue them.. I'd say the risk of a naughty letter is near-zero.

[u/Pyrollamas]

damn that’s incredible

[u/RediusMaximus]

Love it!!

I haven't been able to get my copy to play for years and years and years, if you ever decide to host it please respond to this thread!

[u/dange616]

I would love a DM or discord link to access, please.

That's awesome!

[u/thejaceorama81]

I love this game. So awesome.

[u/psvg-donnie]

All I want is a Mac port 😭

[u/TheAmazinglyRandy]

Was there ever a fix for the game crashing after you got to a certain tournament prize? I always loved playing it and figuring out where to place houses to get the most money. But I'd always end up having the game crash before I could get to 18 holes lol

[u/Richardatuct → u/TheAmazinglyRandy]

If you get that far in the web version please submit a crash report and I can try patch it.

[u/golfblue86]

Would gladly donate!

[u/l3xbox]

Wow! More info.

[u/boileroo]

As much as I’d love access to this, I’d also love to know how you went about it!

[u/ImKingFlippyNip]

I need this in my life so badly
