The keyboard graphic responds to mouse clicks, touch events, and key presses.
Hold your shift key while clicking the PET keyboard to get the graphics
characters.
(The emulator simulates pressing the PET's left shift-key at the
same time as the clicked key.)
Changing the size of memory or changing the ROM version forces a reset of the PET.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8. It can be used load and save (.prg) files.
Some programs don't run on ROM1 and some require more memory than the default 8K.
Game Notes
May include inaccurate AI generated content
OX is an implementation of the Black Box puzzle game, in which you probe the eponymous black box by sending beams of light into the sides of a grid. These beams can be absorbed, reflected, or pass through the box either in a straight line or after a number of deflections. From the behaviour of the beams, you must deduce the location of several atoms hidden inside the box.
The interface is clean, and the gameplay is quick. You can choose the number of atoms in the box; the default of five atoms is a reasonable challenge for beginners. My only gripe with this version is that there's very little hoopla (or messaging of any kind!) when you win. I was waiting for something to happen when I solved the puzzle, but all you get is a HOW MANY ATOMS? prompt which is actually an invitation to play another game.
