PETSCII Pit

The current version plays best on the C64 Ultimate with Turbo @ 2-4 Mhz or VICE in Warp Mode. But I'm always optimizing.

Major Updates:

• Added a self-playing demo!
• A variety of monsters, weapons, and skills and interface improvements!
• Major performance updates

A C64 BASIC roguelike

Tossed into the PETSCII Pit, you, a young @ symbol, must navigate a tediously slowly procedurally generated, turn-based labyrinth rendered using the Commodore 64 PETSCII character set, written entirely in C64 BASIC.
Can you uncover its secrets and escape?
