In case you were wondering how the "PETSCII Flying Toasters" for the Commodore PET are doing: working nicely, but there may be still some things I want to polish. – Stay tuned! 😀

I haven't posted an update on "PET Invaders" (WIP) for quite a while.
State of affairs: basic gameplay is finished, any progressions based on shot count are still missing, as is sound. But we're getting there…
