- Claude Code Powers a Native Half-Life 2 Apple Silicon Port
Developer kanapitsas reports that Claude Code, mainly Claude Opus 5.5, wrote the code for a static-recompilation port of Half-Life 2 to Apple Silicon and iPhone. The project translates the Linux version’s x86 code into C for ARM64, adds Metal rendering through a Portal 2 Direct3D 9 bridge, and includes an installer plus builds for Episode One, Episode Two, and Lost Coast. The developer says the iOS touch controls may still need work.

Developer /u/kanapitsas said Claude Code and Opus 5.5 built a tool that converts about 125,000 functions from the Linux release of Portal 2 into C and compiles them as native ARM64, without an emulator, Wine or Rosetta. The resulting app can run on Apple silicon Macs and an iPhone 15 Pro Max with touch controls, while LAN co-op lets a Mac host another Mac or iPhone joining by IP address. The project also includes a direct D3D9-to-Metal path, with one M3 Pro scene reported at 122 fps versus 81 fps using OpenGL, though results varied by room.
