Your right it's all on my to-do list.

I'm not as low on ram as I thought. Found a few redundant variables ;-)
Isn't there some way to do this with Vblank? Or doesn't the button latch work
like that?

I'll see what I can do

I'm using a lookup value to store the colour cycle so I can't read straight
from the next position (which is the actual colour value) but I have added a
variable to keep track of the colours in the current row so if you move to a
blue peg and press up you will always get red .... but I'm over 1k again :-(

Very helpful. Feedback is always appreciated.
