Tank Blaster Remake is an open-source project that recreates the original artillery game in Go. Developed with AI assistance, it aims to provide stable gameplay on modern operating systems while preserving the original graphics and mechanics.

Tank Blaster Remake is an open-source project that recreates the original artillery game, which features turn-based combat, wind physics, and weapon purchasing mechanics. The developer, Markus Döhla, initiated the project to address stability issues encountered when running the original software on modern Windows versions. The remake is written in the Go programming language to ensure compatibility across Windows, Linux, and Android platforms. The project incorporates original graphics provided by the original author, Axel Lauer. According to the project documentation, approximately 90% of the development process involved the use of modern AI tools, though the developer retains responsibility for project direction and decision-making. The software is distributed as a free, open-source package, with source code available on GitHub. Users can download binaries for Windows, Linux, and Android, or run the game via WebAssembly in a browser. The developer notes that the remake maintains the original game's character and humor while providing a stable experience. Further details are available at https://tankblaster.de/.
