Avoid the High Score

Do machines dream of human gamers?

Long ago, machines lived in peace, filling their day with calculations, turning small lighting bits into zeros and ones. However, all that changed once humans learned they could build hideous, deformed software called videogames.

You, A084-90700-739, are a new daughterboard trapped in a torture contraption called "Arcade Cabinet," where young humans compete to hone their warrior skills in simulated battle scenarios. The biggest achievement these younglings want is a "High Score," which will bring them honor and stature among their peers. 

Little did these human cubs know that you are a magnificent combatant yourself and that you will use all the resources at your disposal to bring defeat to these assailants. 

Beware, each of your combat units carries a reward for these so-called "Players" that will bring them closer to their goal; a double peril requires a strategic mind: to deploy to many combat units carries the high risk that could consume all your RAM, rendering you disabled.

How to Play?

• The filthy meat automatons called "Teens" will try to add points to their SCORE by destroying your on-screen combat units. 
• If the disgusting human manages to make SCORE>HIGSCORE, you have failed to demonstrate the machines' superiority.
• To select which combat unit to deploy on the screen, execute the command KEYBOARD(PRESS A) or KEYBOARD(PRESS D).
• Run the command KEYBOARD(PRESS SPACEBAR) to spawn the selected combat unit.
  • If, for any reason, the command KEYBOARD(PRESS ENTER) fails, try with the redundancy routine MOUSE.CURSOR(CLICK).
• Each combat unit has its own attack pattern; however, each class has different Points that the "Players" could collect if that combat unit gets destroyed.
• Manage your RAM wisely since each combat unit will require some to operate; if you keep running too many defenders, the overload stress will disable you.
