LLM Space Invaders

Jim Gerrie

This is a game modified to work on the TRS-80 Micro Color Computer ("MC-10") using Micro Color BASIC from the author's published source code found on the website: https://pareido.jp/architecture/ai/ai-text/famibasic-ai-no-yume-7/ The program was compiled using Greg Dionne's MCBASIC compiler. The author (an AI generated article?) used OpenAI API (model used gpt-5.6-solis). The prompting involved adding the entire Japanese "Family Basic" reference document (over 100,000 characters). The request consisted of only one line: "Please create a Space Invaders-style game". HOW TO PLAY Launch the emulation and wait until you see the green screen with just an "S" in the upper left corner, press Scroll Lock and then press F2. This will load the tape. After the tape finishes loading press Scroll Lock again and then type EXEC and hit Enter. SOME USEFUL KEYS A and S keys for left and right movement. Press SPACE to fire. Left Shift A Backspace ] Break/Esc Right Shift [ Pause Right Shift ; + = - Right Shift 2 "
