wrangling chatgpt to get it to write a more complex program - Spacewar!
#2
Well here it is, the whole she-bang. 

Evidently when I asked it to email the program, and it listed that code, the second listing did things slightly differently than the first. However, each version had things the other was missing, so I merged them. There were places where the same thing was done slightly differently, and I had to use my best judgment / guess which version of the code to go with. Wherever I wasn't entirely sure, I also included the 2nd version commented out, just in case. To facilitate merging & de-duping, I changed the order of the subs/functions to be alphabetic, just to make them easy to find. 

This is a total hack, but all the code is here, and with some editing it should work. Some issues are easy to fix - for example chatgpt doesn't seem to realize that there is no native Boolean in QB64, so we just change "boolean" to "integer" and make constants for TRUE and FALSE. Some not so trivial, for example there is no such thing as a Collection in QB64! That, and maybe some other things, will have to be reworked. 

But for a general skeleton of a Spacewar! game, it's probably decent. If anyone wants to try to make this bad boy live, have at it! :-D
