Don't get discouraged. We were all newbies at one time and some of us
(like me) are still learning :-)
You might also want to look at the archives for source samples. This
helped me out a lot. The archives are full of information. I hope they get
updated soon.

I wouldn't call your game idea simple. From the description I read it
seems you'll be doing some variable flicker and positioning the 2 sprites
in the kernel (if you show the score too).
As for VSYNC time I generally leave it alone. Eckhard reported weird
behavior if certain things were done during VSYNC. It's sad as it wastes
~228 cycles :-( Then again the *new* way of doing VSYNC is a nice ROM
saver so it could be a trade off.
Take care,
Dennis
