ABOUT

THE DISK IS DYING

You are inside a 1.44MB floppy disk, and it is rotting. Sectors decay, corruption spreads, and the only tool you have is a repair patcher that does exactly what your code tells it to — nothing more.

WRITE CODE. WATCH IT WORK.

Program your patcher in PyDust, a Python-style language built for this disk. Start with four humble commands. Restore files to unlock loops, variables, functions, lists — and rewrite your program into an automation that runs the rescue while you lean back and watch. Infinite loops don't freeze the game: execution itself is the animation.

  • 20 files to restore — each one unlocks language features, tools, or something stranger
  • Corruption is fuel — harvest rot for DATA, spend DATA to repair. The enemy is the economy
  • Up to 3 patchers in parallel — spawn() child patchers and orchestrate them
  • The silence ends mid-game — restore MUSIC.MOD and the soundtrack literally arrives (9 chiptune tracks, 5 unlockable)
  • NEW DISK+ — escalating replay laps, S–C ranks, achievement badges, a stats card made for sharing
  • 8 CRT themes — neon, DOS blue, phosphor green, amber, and hidden retro palettes
  • Everything is procedural — no asset files. Every pixel and every note is synthesized at runtime
  • The entire game fits in 1,474,560 bytes — the exact capacity of a 3.5" floppy. That's the point
  • Keyboard only. Korean / English / Japanese. 2–4 hours to rescue the disk, then the loops begin
