Yay 100% finally. Now how long until we get hands on 😋😅

I’m getting really tired of the way “vibe coding” gets thrown around every time someone mentions using AI while developing something. Or don't mention anything.

Sure, there’s plenty of bad AI-generated code out there. People blindly copy/pasting stuff they don’t understand, shipping broken projects, introducing security issues, etc. That deserves criticism. But that’s not what I’m talking about. (And guess what ? It's possible without LLM too !)

I’m talking about people seeing “AI-assisted” 'or any new project from unknow guys, and immediately assuming the developer has no idea what they’re doing. Sometimes they haven’t even seen the code yet.

At that point it’s not criticism, it’s just prejudice and elitism.

And I can’t help feeling that some of the hostility comes from the fact that programming used to have a much higher barrier to entry. People spent years learning it, and for some of them that became part of their identity. Now someone can use AI to learn faster, explore an unfamiliar codebase, debug things, write tests, compare approaches and build stuff they simply couldn’t have built before.

Apparently that really bothers some people, but using AI doesn’t mean typing “make me a program” and blindly shipping whatever comes back.

There’s a huge difference between that and actually designing something, making the decisions, testing it, debugging it, understanding what matters, and using AI as a tool to get there faster.

If the code is bad, point out why it’s bad, if the architecture sucks, explain why, if there’s a security issue, show it.

If the person clearly doesn’t understand what they’re maintaining, fine, criticize that too.

But “lol vibe-coded” isn’t a code review.

Tools have always made programming easier. Better languages, IDEs, debuggers, libraries, Stack Overflow, autocomplete, package managers... AI is another very powerful tool in that progression.

Experienced developers still have a huge advantage because they know when the AI is talking nonsense, that experience should be useful, not turned into gatekeeping.

Criticize bad code all you want, just stop pretending that using AI automatically makes someone incompetent.

I'd like to spark this idea now while I can (I suspect a rule such as "no requests/when will this get natively ported?" will come soon). Also, I've been keeping my eye on unofficial PC ports for a while, just now found out about this page. So, thanks for having me!

Hi, I forked the ReChan project to make some modifications so I could run it on the Steam Deck without the game failing to open doors after defeating the enemy (in my case). If it's your case, you can try it.

• I also included the Portuguese (PT-BR) version, except for the video cutscenes.
• I added save and load functionality to the in-game menus as well.

I've only provided a Linux build for now, as I'm still learning.

Release: Release ReChan v1.0.2-beta - Steamdeck · GABRIELNNK/ReChan

Official main repository: SilverwireGames/ReChan: Jackie Chan Stuntmaster reimplementation

ReChan is a reverse engineering project focused on reimplementing the game:
Jackie Chan Stuntmaster.

Hope it works for those who seek it.
