 |  Re: Just a silly idea.. How about converting some game..
I had a plus-4 and could only play C16 games and I’m interested to see how much of a limitation it places on the programmer.
As it happens, a great deal. I grew up with a C64 and the sprite and memory make it a joy to use.
But I really need to do this in 16K.
This is also a step to writing something for the Atari 2600. You think a C16 is limited, the 2600 is laughable.
I love finding ways to overcome the limitations. For example, to keep the soft sprites fast I place each line of the sprite 40 characters on from the last. I do this because I can reuse the same register without reloading it to handle the index.
