There is the 'How to draw a playfield' source code on Nick Bensema's
website at http://www.primenet.com/~nickb/atariprg.htm . It is very
well commented and makes a good template for your first experiments on
the VCS. Also if you don't have a Supercharger yet, the Stella emulator
shows the number of scanlines in the last frame after you exit the
program. If this number is 262 and the emulator shows what you intended,
then your program should work fine on a real VCS too.
Ciao, Eckhard Stolberg
