  "title": "IF:CARGO: LLM-Based Semantic Compilation for Al-Native Rule Programming Games",
  "summary": "This case study presents IF: CARGO, an experimental puzzle game that uses a large language model as a semantic compiler rather than an autonomous game-playing agent. Players author IF/THEN rules in natural language, which the model translates into a constrained command schema for deterministic validation and execution by the game engine. This architecture creates a playable loop of expression, execution, observation, and revision, framing AI interaction as semantic debugging. A mixed-methods pla",
