So, Kirk's thoughtful email got me thinking that maybe I should be a little more active in [stella], so here I goes.
Prompted by Manuel's poll at AA (http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67286), I thought it might be fun to attempt to port M-4 to the 2600.
So far I have a working kernel, joystick-controllable tanks, fireable missiles, very rough sound effects, a timer, and missile-to-wall collisions. In other words, a lot has been done, but much more needs to be done to complete it.
Any suggestions/comments are welcome. I hope to cram this down into 1K eventually, so optimization tips are extra-appreciated!
Attached is binary and source.
Oh yeah, the B&W/Color switch switches between, well, color and original black & white :)

PS It's been about three weeks since I looked at any of this code - and some of it is pretty rough. Sorry for any inaccurate comments :|
