"This month marks the 🎈🎈🎈 40th anniversary of ChipWits! 🎈🎈🎈 To celebrate,
we’re releasing all of the original Mac and Commodore 64 FORTH source code (or
as much as we could recover) as open source!"

"ChipWits was one of the first games to be released on the 1984 Macintosh.
Co-creators Doug Sharp and Mike Johnston worked part-time porting educational
computer games between 8-bit microcomputers to earn enough money to pay rent.
During this time, they worked on the design for their first original game
called ChipWits, a game about programming robots inspired by Rocky’s Boots,
Logo and other classic programming games of the time."
