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.

Patch notes for Comet 64 - v1.06a

fixed: Game was expecting decimal numbers to be entered with a comma(1,2) in non-english cultures instead of a point(1.2). That's fixed and should now be point for everyone.
fixed: Using shift-enter for new line instead of just enter was causing an error when it shouldn't matter.
changed: Some solutions were not possible due to infinite loop protection being too low. Increased to 500 from 200.
fixed: User manual in pdf form had some typo where str[2] was str[4] instead.
fixed: User manual in pdf form had some typo where jump instructions didn't have a ';' at the end.
fixed: Incorrect spelling of the word: 'challenge' in-game.
