RiverRace

The Atari river raid, three planes at once, two flown by aityx.

Source Codespace

Overview

The 1982 Atari river shooter, remade: banks and islands, bridges, tankers, helicopters, jets and fuel depots, with three planes up one river at once. Two are flown by aityx, each by its own rules (a decision table you can edit while they fly); the yellow one is yours. Who scores more? Every aityx call, sent and received, in a side panel.

Steps

  1. Press Start and fly the yellow plane: ← → steer, ↑ ↓ set the speed, space fires, P pauses.
  2. Watch the cyan and magenta planes: every few frames one aityx call decides what both pilots do.
  3. Under the river, edit a pilot’s rules, or swap its strategy (Careful, Daredevil, Sharpshooter, Rookie), while it flies.
  4. Read every call, sent and received, in the panel on the right.

Highlights

  1. 01

    A pilot as a decision table

    Each aityx plane’s strategy is a table of rules you can add to, change and remove while it flies.

  2. 02

    Two pilots, one call

    Every few frames one aityx call decides what both pilots do, and shows the rule that fired.
