🚀 New from AUTCODE: AUTCODE Invaders — a Space Invaders–style arcade shooter for the Atari 800XL, hand-built in 6502 assembly (with an auto-booting .atr disk image).
🕹️ Free to play & download → https://autcode.itch.io/autcode-invaders-atari-800xl
🤖 The code was made with the help of AI tools — and we say so openly.
This is our retro playground: seeing how far AI-assisted development can go on real 8-bit hardware from the '80s. Marching invaders, destructible bunkers, a sneaky UFO, POKEY sound + a "GAME OVER" speech effect, and escalating waves.
Runs on a real Atari 800XL or any emulator (Atari800MacX / Altirra / atari800). NTSC, BASIC off, joystick or keyboard.
