Mistodon: "Castle Kit" is one of three remapped #PETSCII fonts created by @littlebitspace . As its name suggests, its 8x8px blocks are intended for use illustrating scenes of monumental medieval architecture with specialised textmode semigraphics. This screen, demonstrating both its use and abuse, was included in the new, unthemed MIST0625 artpack collection.

Arising from woodland scrub and a small farmer's plot emerges the contours of a castle's walls and towers, behind the name of the artist littlebitspace, spelled out architecturally. Behind it all the night sky twinkles with stars and glows with clouds charged with faint mystical energy.

textual-paint is a 🎨 MS Paint in your terminal

however the ASCII table is short and doesn't allow sub-pixel rendering, so I made a feature request asking for PETSCII support 🤓

Now, this is one helpful online tool to convert #C64 prg files not only into #PETSCII text files but also apply the usual PETSCII macros to them. (And vice-versa you can copy&paste text files and save the as .PRG!)

From the looks of that, Unscii already has both of the glyph sets, and Markus Neeb's changes aren't adding any new glyphs (just putting some PET ones into the C64 set) so don't make a difference.

I'm already getting the text mode guttering by dint of the 7by7 font being rendered into 8by8 bitmaps. (-:

A lazy Sunday morning! Drinking coffee, about to get coding on #Outrun #PETSCII on #C64 and of course reading the latest issue of @FREEZE64 while wearing my new #Commodore baseball cap!

Update! #OutRun #PETSCII on #c64 is only a couple of weeks away from beta testing! After the final release of the game, it'll be back to work on #CHILL3R! See the early version of the map layout for Stage 2 (Creepy Castle - 4 screens wide, 3 high). @EC64

Mistodon: on the top floor of the wizard's tower, when they're done pondering their orb they fire up a vintage 8-bit computer and use it to answer some e-mails. This #PETSCII-inspired concept sketch of DivineOS, running all the essential magic apps, was drawn by @littlebitspace and included in the recent MIST-30 artpack celebration.

On a textmode representation of a windowed computer desktop, overlapping windows are shown demonstrating ouija, star chart and tarot programs (that latter being the foreground program) being run simultaneously. Other programs are suggested by a task bar at the bottom of the screen.
