Okay, well, work has begun on my game. And I've got two quick questions.
First, what's the format for ".byte" commands? Specificly, is there any
set number of bytes that must come after (eg, multiple of two, 1, 8, etc)?
Second, b/c I'm lazy, I've been grafting my code into Nick Besema's "How
to get your PowerPC to draw "Hello" in really low-res graphics on the
screen, and still make you incredibly happy" program. (for those of you
not familiar with this, I think there's one for the PC called "How to
draw a playfield" that is pretty much the same thing ;) But my playfield
is coming up in B&W.
He didn't bother to check the game switches, and goodness knows I haven't
added that yet. What are some possibilities for this mix-up? I've tried
a number of different colors for the background and PF. Right now the
bkgd is black and the PF is off-white. The original program ran in
color. I've got the .bin of my project on my web pages. My mail
handler, Em@iler, won't send attachments unless you compress them, and
.zip isn't an option (I could .hqx for you Mac folk, but it's really not
worth it! ;).

The MacDEV pages are there as well. See this page:

This probably will never have great animated .gif's, etc, but will be
updated periodicly and does have links for Mac programmers.
