Oh dear, it seems we've... somehow been psychically linked...

I developed a browser-based CP/M emulator & IDE: https://lockboot.github.io/desktop/

I was going to post that instead, but wanted a 'cool demo' instead, and fell down the rabbit hole.

That is beautiful.

I wrote a console-based emulator, and a simple CP/M text-adventure game somewhat recently

https://github.com/skx/cpmulator/

At some point I should rework my examples/samples to become a decent test-suite for CP/M emulators. There are so many subtle differences out there.

It seems I could even upload a zipfile of my game, but the escape-codes for clearing the screen don't work, sadly:

I've been playing the Z80-μLM demos in your CP/M emulator. Works great! However, I have yet to guess a correct answer in GUESS.COM! I'm not sure if I'm just not asking the right questions or I'm just really bad at it!
Don't tell anybody, but you sit on it

Haha I love it. Just imagine if instead of DOS-based Windows, a CP/M based alternative evolved and took over the PC industry. Nice one!
