The source code to Chromatron was made available on the game's forum at one point. Here's a copy I saved:

A couple of helper functions are missing, but nothing terribly important.

Very nice. But "Models excel at code, but not at visual inspection" is limited, Claude excel's at code cause that is anthropics main focus. Google will leapfrog them soon.

I could never see Claude doing this without a human in the loop, while Google has probably already reverse engineered a good chunk of the software available on the web
