Richard "Levelord" Gray, a prominent first-person shooter level designer, died Monday at age 68, according to reports shared by Apogee Entertainment. Former colleague Joe Siegler said Gray had intermittently battled cancer. Gray's career spanned Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, SiN, Quake, Half-Life: Opposing Force and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.
A tech journalist with no coding background says he used AI coding assistants, including a paid ChatGPT Pro subscription, to build working iOS source ports of Duke Nukem 3D and Serious Sam in under a week, and Morrowind after several weeks of iteration. The resulting builds reportedly run smoothly with touch controls and take advantage of features like 120Hz ProMotion displays, all built by adapting existing open-source projects rather than writing original code from scratch.
