Charset Auto lets PET software switch normally. Graphics or Business forces the selected character ROM for compatibility/testing.
Changing RAM or ROM resets the PET. Some programs need ROM2/ROM4 or 16K/32K.
The sound slider controls the emulated PET VIA speaker. Modern browsers require a click before audio can start, so Start Game also enables audio.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8 for loading/saving .prg files. D64 disk images can also be inspected for PRG files.
About Guess
Guess is a logical game game for the Commodore PET, released in 1978. The game was programmed by Glen Fisher and published by CodeWorks - Cursor. This version is available in English. You can play it directly in your browser using the Commodore PET emulator or download it for use on compatible hardware or emulators.
Game Notes
This program is similar to TRAP, which appeared in BASIC Computer Games, edited by David H. Ahl (Creative Computing, 1978). TRAP also appeared in an earlier version of this book, 101 BASIC Computer Games (Digital Equipment Corporation, 1973), credited to Steve Ullman, with a date of August, 1972. I don't think Fisher "stole" this program as such, but rather it was just one of those ideas that was floating around and easy to implement. I must have seen dozens of BASIC variants of TRAP and other guessing games like Jotto (a word game) and Bagels (a number guessing game similar to the board game Mastermind). Fisher's slick PETSCII displays add value to the basic concept.
