1984, february.
outside, it's dark. -and raining.
it might have started five minutes or five days ago.
hard to tell.
I've been coding.
if I stare at the screen long enough
answers come to me.
that's my super power.
outside, the city is sleeping.
but the caret is blinking at me.
and this new disk I got,
it's brutal.

Comet 64 is a programming puzzle game. The year is 1984. All you got is a Comet
64 home computer and the operator's manual it came with.
- Read the documentation (exist both in-game, and as a pdf) and figure out how
to operate this 80s computer. - Learn its assembly-like (but not quite) programming language.
- Solve 50+ input - output processing puzzzles.
- Improve your solution and compete to minimize your instruction and cycle counts.
- Solve bonus visual grid-based puzzles.
- Discover secrets of the machine.
Previous fonts used for the game, were non-monospaced and it didn't quite fit the aesthetics of retro-computing as well as making the block caret look weird on some characters. They are now changed to monospaced fonts, so now Comet 64 looks sharper than before.
