Atari Missile Command game remake

[eva2000]

I have been playing a lot with AI lately and learning a lot and I ended up using Google Gemini 2.5 Pro's new LLM model to recreate one of my own favourite games - Atari Missile Command. I put my spin on it with a top score leaderboard, in-game store with upgradeable weapons and also end-of-game AI gameplay analysis via Google Gemini 2.0 Flash. Let's see how you folks rank https://missile-command-game.centminmod.com/

Noooooooo! Not again. This game is evil. I lost entire summers on it. (and a few others)

I’m using Google Gemini 2.5 Pro with Cursor, and find it’s blowing all the other models out of the water!

LOL, well, now when you have free time

Indeed it is - can't wait for Gemini 2.5 Pro to bump from 1 million to 2 million token context window too

I was never the gamer in my circle but I certainly remember this. No doubt I would be just as terrible at this type of game today as I was 40 years ago. (Oh crap, made the mistake of checking when Missile Command came out. It's actually 45 years now.)

Well there were many Atari gaming consoles over the years. Just saying

Updated my Missile Command game with music and sound FXs now https://missile-command-game.centminmod.com/

Music is a work in progress, so it probably will be changed

And generated product images

Atari gaming consoles

Consoles? Pfft. I was talking about playing it in arcades. Though the first console version apparently came only a year after the arcade release.

Oh I am not that old - so before my time

Amazing! I got to level 38, then the level didn't end, so I'll take that as a win?

It's an occasional bug. It will time out and end the wave eventually so if you wait a bit. Will need to get it fixed.

Updated game with three new types of shield bombs that have 3 layers of shielding you have to get through

So this thing is coded entirely by AI? Man that's amazing.

Yup, the first version was entirely done by Gemini 2.5 Pro via Gemini Advanced. Then, new features were added or extended with some assistance from Claude 3.7 Sonnet via Claude AI Pro and Gemini 2.5 Pro via Cline with Visual Studio Code editor.

Cool game. I briefly reached the Top 20 leaderboard.

When can we expect the XF add-on with DBTech Credits compatibility and links to the trophy system?

 

[Digital Doctor]

XFArcade ?

Cheers, see you on the leaderboard. I updated it to show top 1000 scores now instead of top 50 Probably no anytime soon hehe.

XFArcade ?

XFArcade would be nice as a user retention feature

The most fun Missile Command was for the Atari 2600.

I can still hear the sound the game makes when you are out of Missiles !

 

[andybond]

Who do we send claims to for a new left mouse button?

Atari 2600 was before my time heh. Atari XEGS

LOL. FYI, it's sort of mobile responsive, you should be able to play on your mobile - only tested on Android with just tapping
