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
AHTZEE is, not surprisingly, an implementation of the dice game Yahtzee. The main game screen is well designed: the scorecard layout is clean and the PETSCII dice look good. I found the re-rolling input procedure a little counter-intuitive but quickly got used to it. I also had to get used to the reality that the random number generator absolutely hates me. I couldn't roll a single Yahtzee over the course of several games, which I guess makes this version a fairly realistic simulation.
