Looking for inspiration for Inktober projects? How about some PETSCII art?
While you can obviously use an emulator or original C64, I would recommend using a more modern approach:
Petmate is a cross-platform C64 PETSCII image editor, drawing inspiration from the PETSCII editor.
You can get it here: https://nurpax.github.io/petmate/
Petmate runs locally on a Mac/Windows/Linux machine and doesn’t require an internet connection.
