Ah, finally someone who shares my passion for compression. :-)
When I did my exercise with Jammed I am afraid nobody understood
exactly what I did. Maybe you can explain your algorithm better than
I could.

Cool idea, though the playfield is a bit limited now. Do you plan allowing
to extend it? That would cost some RAM and ROM space, but it would
allow many more variations. I don't know about your free RAM, but with
a good compressor, ROM shouldn't become a too big problem.
Have fun!
