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 - v1.06a
- 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.
