If you change the ORG at the end to:
ORG $FFFC
You gain totally free 2K for experimenting. I use this a lot for all
sorts of this and that and quick experiments.
You can easily add your own screen drawing routine with but just adding
this after the Sucky Zep Demo:
ORG $F090
; This part is my testing code.
TestLoop JSR VerticalSync ; Common vertical
sync
JSR VerticalBlank ; Common do-nothing vblank
JSR TestScreen ; Draw your screen
JMP TestLoop ; Repeat
You maybe want to reset something at the beginning or do your own
vertical blank sometime later, but you can start right away with just
having to code the 'Testscreen' subroutine. Look at the 'Matt' routine
for a really simple example how its done.

I know and like that and will definitely add it in the next version. I
think it was sent in later than May, that's all.

BTW: Hopefully I'm through with reverse-engineering Starmaster this
month, I commented nearly everything down to the Bit. And I already have
an idea for a little (and secret of course!) MOD of Starmaster, maybe I
get that ready as an Easter Egg :-)
