This repository holds dump files, paratextual material and contextual information of Laro’s personal TI-99/4A code archive, dating around 1982. The dumps were created by digitizing the original data cassettes, decoding the recordings, and extracting the BASIC source code.

Code Analysis with a LLM

I analyzed some of the code with the help of an LLM, which worked surprisingly well. I was especially fond of the drawing of flow diagrams. These notes contain automated basic analysis of some of the programs and games.

The analysis was done with Claude 3.5 Sonnet and the prompt was What do you make of this code? Can you also create a mermaid.js flow chart of the program flow and add the line numbers to the nodes?.
