You have to be patient. Most 2600 games took about six months to
complete, and that was by experienced assembly programmers working
full-time. Homebrews here typically take a lot longer because we're only
working on it on and off during our spare time.
Going from BASIC to assembly is a big transition. It requires a very
different way of thinking about code. That combined with the strict
timing of the 2600 makes it very demanding. It's impossible to program
the 2600 in a casual manner. You have to be very aware of everything you
are doing while you debug.
I agree with Glenn on that porting a program from basic to 2600 code is hard.
that's why my own projects are taking me so long to do.
plus like Glenn said I'm also doing my projects on my free time after work.
