gitfiti VS touchHLE

Just turn your git history into pixel art

Gitfiti

Git accepts commits in the past. There are tools to make it look however you like -> https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti

You can make your past github squares green. This is the reason you can do stuff like this https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti

Me: "I needed to make my contribution graph look good"

That's nothing to say about using it though you could really push it over the top by using something like this (or making it yourself for bonus points) to draw images or text on your github activity and drive the point home

There is even a tool[1] to draw images in commit history (so called gitifi).

It is possible because git allows to create and push commit with arbitrary date, using GIT_AUTHOR_DATE env variable or --date flag.

No one cares about commit history. There are even tools to jokingly spoof commit history. No one takes it seriously anymore. For example https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti

If you still have the IPA file for it, you should look into seeing if it runs on touchHLE [1], an emulator for early versions of iOS. They also have an app archive if you'd like to give permission for them to preserve the game.

This project is the most promising and it does what you say, except they're starting with iOS 1.0 so you'll have to be patient!

Very interesting. The "why" context seems to be buried in an issue comment https://github.com/hikari-no-yume/touchHLE/issues/181#issuec... and I guess the purpose is to emulate old iOS games, from the early Cambrian explosion of ideas at the start of the App Store. This is also an era I am nostalgic for, with lots of new concepts, art pieces, and indie games, before anyone knew how to sustainably monetize, for better or worse. For example, Distant Shore is definitely a relic from a simpler time! https://johnnybgamer.com/2009/08/13/distant-shore/

> It does remind me that that there is still no way to play Wolfenstein RPG on iOS.

This may change very soon :)

So, it only does three 32-bit iOS games thus far, BUT, there's a chance in the future, this emulator will allow us to run the game you're talking about: https://github.com/hikari-no-yume/touchHLE
