I just did some of the playfield stuff you suggest
I wrote the playfield character set, which I posted recently,
to be a starting point and guide. I didn't post but also have
a simple extension of Nick's how-to-draw which makes it
asymmetric (adds "there" to "hello"). Of course, what I
know about the rest of Stella's hardware could be written
on a postage stamp in 24-point type, but I'm starting to get
*cough* interested.
Say the word and I'll post "hello there" and give full
permission to republish the source I'm developing. I am
actually aiming for a library of utility functions for embedded
control usages, but the whole thing is addictive in a mad kind
of way.
People might also want to check out my demo for the
3x5 char set, which *cough* does not suck very much. I
cut my teeth on 3x5 charsets on another early machine and
actually sold copies of software (OK, just a couple of dozen)
to people who had no trouble understanding them.
