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.
Patch notes for Comet 64 - v1.07a
- added: breakpoints, lines starting with a '!' will pause execution after that line.
- added: you can now leave comments on the same line as instructions following '//'.
- added: a third star for the disks a/b for solving without using the cheese solution.
- changed: the wording of the query for 'differentiator' to clarify what's asked is absolute difference.
- fixed: white space on blank lines wasn't getting trimmed, preventing execution.
