Reminds me of something I tried last year :o) But I did not make it to have more than six different colored blocks in a row using a big sprite routine. There were of course 8 pixel width and a bit too large for a Tetris playfield on a 2600. It should be possible, to have seven in a row when playing with the background color and maybe eight when using the playfield. Hm, can't remember if I already used the playfield combined with the big sprite routine. But for a real tetris, you need ten in a row. Up to now, I had no idea, where to get the other 2 colored blocks. And then there still will be the 8 pixel blocks, which is a bit too big in my opinion. I already thought about interlacing, but I dislike this kind of trick. jps -- Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
