9 years of RoBeats, and porting old games...

Posted by SPOTCO on April 2026

Hello! If you're reading this, you probably know me as the creator of RoBeats on Roblox.
It was recently the 9 year anniversary of the game (and about equally long since I last wrote a blog post here).
Lots of fun memories and lore since then. Maybe saving this for a future post.

Recently started a fun side project (mainly for my own nostalgia + learning)...
Using a combination of agents (Codex and Copilot) to port my old flash games to be playable on a web browser with the phaser game engine.

Save the Princess: My first original game I made in 2011! Was a lot of fun to play my old levels again. Added a bunch of quality of life features (like checkpoints) and was testing out a level editor in this port.

JavaTetris: a simple tetris clone I made in java/swing back when I was taking Programming 101.

Still planning to port:

Jump, Goober, Jump!
Speedypups
MoeMoeRush!!
WINDOW CLEANER - A Tale of Two Gangs
Ricochet Heroes
Dream Knights: The Little Hero

Been really impressed by how well it's been working out - minimal code work required on my side, mainly just testing + planning new features. Mainly been able to prompt while doing something else (doing dailies, etc). Gonna take a lot of tokens to get all these old games working again.
