What the community thinks:
You've got a pretty interesting game, here. Unfortunately, while trying to optimize the code, I accidentally destroyed the game, but from what I remember, try this:
You used For( loops for delays. Try using rand( delays. They take less room. Another thing, the speed adjustment isn't needed because people want the game to be fast anyways (and I eventually figured out the lower number meant faster). If you want it to only affect the AI, you could control its movement with an F conditional like
This will control the computer.
Also, instead of using a For( loop to display the laser, simply output a long string such as
This is very much faster.
Finally, instead of using a string to store highscore, use a custom list, such as ∟BATLE. That way the program doesn't start with an error, and I had to define Str4 as a space.
Hope this helps!

thanks for the help but im not very good with the lowercase LBATLE stuff.
maybe a tut??
To get the lowercase L (which always starts a list) press (on the Ti-83 plus - it's in the LIST menus)
(2nd)(Stat)(Right)(Alpha)(Apps)
On the Ti-83 Plus, this should paste it to the cursor location.
Another way to creat a custom list (if you don't mind messing up a stat plot) is
(2nd)(Y=)(Enter)(Down)(Down)
A-lock is on - simply type in the name of your custom list and press (Enter). Your new list will be in the list menu. To put it in the stat editor, simply do this:
(Stat)(5) [paste the name of your custom list] (Enter)
That will take all the lists from the stat editor, and put your list in. You can do a series of lists, too, to put more than one in the stat editor.
These keystrokes work on the Ti-83 plus. I don't know the keystrokes for other calculators.
How do I see the codes for these programs
You can see the written program by using SourceCoder 3. Really neat tool! In case you are not able to…
Some things to keep in mind:
