I've finished μPETSCII-256 font system design and have 3 fonts available: new standard uOS font, art deco and standard C128 style. I'm also in the middle of adding selection list to API. Next Mouse designs. After that redesign of Synth - this should give me more insight on how C128 sounds works so games sound should greatly benefit from this.
As of now I've ended 9 task (of 30), nearly 1/3 of them, but keep in mind that most of those are easy to fix errors or small improvements.
