They're now sinking four times as fast. It feels right
now.

While I like the idea, it is somewhat overkill for the
display. Different color schemes had to be worked into 6
different display kernels, plus into the spaces between
these. Also, an additional color scheme would requires
another 100+ bytes of ROM for data only, plus a lot more
for all the additional code.
Also, I'm uncertain about the value this'd add to the
gameplay. Just a darker color scheme wouldn't change too
much, yet making it pitch black would probably render it
unplayable...

Thanks. Certainly no match to Pauls magic, but I didn't
want to bother him doing yet another cover version.
Also, I wanted to write a new driver for a long time.
I really like how it turned out. It's fully patternized
and allows sequencing, so it can work with very few
data. Yet it's only using 4 bytes RAM. I plan on an
improved version though, as right now it doesn't support
ADSR curves.
Oh, before I forget, I also added collisions with the
mines, so the basic gameplay is there now.
Greetings,
Manuel
