Mudlark on the River Thames foreshore by day, then hunt vampires at Carfax Abbey by night. A new game written in APL on the Commodore SuperPET for the River Thames Game Jam of September 2023.

Why use an interpreted array language from the 1960s on a vintage Commodore computer? Because APL is fun and easy to learn, and the language’s unique character set can be used to represent mudlarking treasures. Two APL workspaces are used, one for the mudlarking section and another for the vampire hunting section.
