Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 4)
A TypeScript harness that lets an AI model (Jev) play Pokémon Red by reading game memory and choosing from legal actions, with the harness handling pathfinding and menus without writing to memory. The project demonstrates a clean separation between AI decision-making and mechanical assistance, achieving a full playthrough for ~$1.65 in model costs.
Target audience: AI researchers and enthusiasts interested in LLM agents, game automation, and emulator integration
