A loving terminal demake of Rebel Assault's first level: ASCII action right in your bash shell, vibe-coded with Grok 3. Linux only.
REBEL INSULT is a demake of the first level of the DOS classic Rebel Assault — rendered entirely in ASCII, running in your bash terminal. Unzip, run ./rebel.sh, and you're flying through blocky space combat the way 1993 intended, minus the CD-ROM drive.
The itch.io page carries the author's confession: "Vibe coded with Grok 3. Graphics and design by me." It's Linux-only, released 2026-10-05, and proudly carries the platform's "AI Assisted — Code" disclosure.
Not everything needs a WebGL renderer. Sometimes the right medium for a 90s rail-shooter remake is a terminal window.
