FALKEN–9 C64 / NEURAL GAME

A SMALL MODEL. A REAL MACHINE.

Crystal Palace 9.
Powered by Falken-9.

Crystal Palace 9 keeps its original artwork and adds sound, animated activity and a resident, 5,195-byte Falken-9 model. Every AI move runs the network; the frozen weights do not learn as you play.

Not a lookup table. Not the original Crystal-9 weights compressed again.

01 / RUN THE GAME

Your next move.

Launch the PRG in TY64, or send the disk to Lewis Moten’s storage-d64 inspector. Both open another tab; no emulator is embedded here. Self-play is a short curiosity to watch, with sound and visible activity during thinking. General timing impressions are described in the game guide.

Before you start

Allow popups. Transmitted bytes are checked against the same-origin inventory’s length and SHA-256. The disk inspector also requires a source-, origin- and request-matched readiness handshake.

TY64 provides no ready acknowledgment: if the initial transfer is too early, retry or load the downloaded PRG manually.

03 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE

What does the network actually do?

Distributed, position-sensitive computation—not evidence for a dedicated “fork neuron.” The complete illustrated report separates observations, interventions, guarantees and surviving counterexamples.
