Dirty little secret: my gameplay and playfied is so simple,
I haven't felt squeezed for cycles. So there is some room
to play with. I think.
I once said "A good Atari game is like a Haiku"--I'm afraid
JoustPong is like, a sloppy freeverse poem, but with kind of
short lines.
I should go risk my PC's soundcard jack and see if I can get my
supercharger mojo working again.
I'm worried I have one of my infamous "forgot the # sign" bugs,
because when I changed the constants like you suggested, all
the colors changed.
Though what gets LDA'd before teh STA COLUP0, COLUP1,
and COLUPF *definately* has teh # sign...I don't know
what's up with that!
