# Artemis - A Fantasy Microcomputer
Artemis is supposed to be a challenging fantasy computer. Can you create a fun game with the following limitations?
- 7 text modes to choose from, each a different compromise between number of characters and colors on the screen
- 125 possible colors and 255 redefinable character glyphs
- No bitmap modes or sprites
- Using an Unstructured BASIC language (or Python if you prefer.)
Although limited, Artemis allows you develop using some modern tools:
- Integration with [playscii](http://vectorpoem.com/playscii/), a GUI you can design screens in.
- Loading of the character set from a PNG image.
- Importing BASIC programs and Python scripts from text-files. (Allowing development in your favourite editor.)
