It drives input probes into a running Godot platformer to confirm a fix took effect, with one task published August 21.
Why now: GamePhanes has picked up 224 stars since posting the repo on August 21.
Game Terminal-Bench grades coding agents by running their fix and prodding the live game with input, per the GamePhanes repository.
Most agent benchmarks stop at file diffs and a clean exit code. This one drives the running program instead, then checks that its state changed, a closer proxy for whether a fix shows up in play.
The evaluator's loop covers inspecting the code, editing it, running the game, and diagnosing what broke before it repairs and verifies the fix. Only after that does it send input probes into the running project to confirm the change took hold.
Anyone testing coding agents against interactive software hits the same gap. A suite that only checks compilation doesn't catch what breaks once a player starts pressing buttons.
So far one task is public. It asks an agent to fix a broken phase jump in a Godot platformer without breaking shard collection elsewhere in the level.

ukanwat/aaabench hands an agent a real game engine, professional conditions and time, and ships the apparatus only, no scores, at 375 stars and 70 forks since July 31. Withholding results while releasing the harness is unusual and defensible for a benchmark this expensive to r...
rust-v0.150.1, published August 27, fixes remote compaction ignoring retained images when computing token budget; it now trims older images as needed (GitHub). Sessions passing screenshots to a vision-capable agent were budgeting as though those images cost nothing, which prod...
255 stars in the two days after its August 22 creation, AGPL-3.0, positioned against Paper.design. Designs live on a shareable canvas of frames rendering real HTML in sandboxed iframes; people edit in the browser and agents edit through the built-in MCP server, with live curso...
qwen-code 0.22.2 shipped three review changes on August 26 that deliberately pull opposite ways: a do-not-refute list and constructible rejection bar in the /review verifier to stop it invalidly rejecting speculative-but-real findings, test acceptance criteria attached to ever...
ChaoMixian/dsh2shell, created August 21, is a Python PoC for unauthenticated remote code execution against dsh web instances reachable on the network (GitHub). It arrives while the plugin ecosystem scales fast, with dshplugin/dsh-plugin-hub advertising 4,000+ community plugins...
On July 1, the Godot Foundation rewrote its contributor guidelines to ban nearly all generative-AI code submissions and autonomous-agent PRs. New contributors with three or fewer merged PRs now need maintainer permission before submitting features or refactors. (The Register)...
