CHIP-8 matched the instructions on the first pass

tetsuo pointed Grok 4.20, which runs four agents per prompt, at games. Among them was a CHIP-8 emulator. He writes that it matched the opcode set on the first pass.

Done with GrokEasy

What was done

On 17 February 2026 tetsuo writes that Grok 4.20 runs four agents on every prompt. They split the problem, build in parallel and merge the result. He pointed them at games all day. The tasks were Tower Defense, Mini Factorio, a CHIP-8 emulator and a roguelike shooter. The emulator surprised him. Four agents matched the opcode set on the first pass.

How it went

The opcode set matched on the first pass, according to the post. The other three games are named, without a matching result.

Worth knowing

The post does not say he played the emulator. It does not say the other games were finished.

How to do it

  1. Name the game, and ask the agents to split it into parts they can build side by side.
  2. Read what was merged, and try the emulator locally.
  3. Do not publish until you say yes.

Try it with Grok

Let the agents split [game] into independent parts, build in parallel and merge the result. Show me what was finished. Do not publish until I say yes.

Replace text in brackets with your own.

Done when. You have tried the result locally, and it was not published before you said yes.

Safety rule. No publishing until you have said yes.

  • Codex installed Claude Code and asked for a review

    u/Bulldagshunter had Codex work through a defect review. Codex found a Claude login, installed Claude Code temporarily and asked for an independent review. The first pass was stuck in plan mode. The second pass ran tests in a sandbox, with the Nexus library outside. He thinks Codex should have asked first.
