Thanks Mad! That is certainly useful, and now it is much more clear what is happening. I have been playing around with double-buffered screens and multi-color sprites, but it's very difficult to get it to perform. I'm not giving up, as I'm still learning (some sort of code profiler would help). I have been reading other people's code (sprites used in Pets Rescue), and I learned a lot from it. Will you release your (annotated) source code?
I've been wanting to write a shoot 'm up on the plus/4 since 1984 (thinking it was impossible). It will probably take me a lot of time to do anything, but I'm having fun, so who cares? Again, awesome game, I'm waiting for floppy disks to come in, so I can make a real 1551 disk, and get it running on real hardware.
