Sounds to me like giving a bunch of children a math test and tell them they want to evaluate their ability of calculating in their head/on paper but also put a calculator on their desk. And then call them out for cheating when they use it.

From the article:

> All files required to run each game must fit within 1.44MB. Entries must be standalone games that run without a separate server or internet connection, and the size limit includes every required component, including game engines and libraries.

This is exciting! I found a t2 macbook in the trash a couple of years ago and spent a long time configuring gentoo for it. It mostly works, but i never got the keyboard or trackpad to work on it. (Works fine with external devices, so it's usable but not portable)

Can't wait to get back home and try this out.

Maybe you could explain why you think it is not a remake, when it clearly is generally seen as one.
