Just took your fine handiwork for a spin (using VICE) -- runs like a dream. It shows that you took great care with the sounds and explosions without detracting any from the fast smooth action.
Love an early Christmas present, thanks!

Re: Snake Games are the Best Games
Love the title (because I love snake games) and its look. Not entirely sold on a "wraparound universe" in this snake garden.
Maybe border up some of that with garden stones, and put in a snake "hole" that allows for selective traversing between borders?

Re: Software sprites?
It amazes me still this thread is followed. Good luck with your assembler pursuits -- it can be a kind of grind, but in the end, it's fun. :P @beamrider, back in that day, I had started a new sprite stack using a new approach that would offer some interesting new features. The motivation behind that...

Re: Raspberry Pi 400 - Computer in a keyboard!
FWIIW, I replaced the 128 with a 256gb image with the latest RetroArch using my moderated content playlists, not just rom "dumps". The bloat is mostly from adding in a lot more media, including an extensive library of PDF manuals, previews, and video. So, the menu HELP and searchable game ...

Re: A New Draft
Super Expander, Programmer's Aid, et al, but the Machine Language Monitor quick reference is missing entirely -- it will make all those useful mnemonics and memory internals fully explained put to native use on a VIC 20. I'm certain someone clever can write a really short "game" or "t...

Re: A New Draft
Someone sees this hardcopy laying about and will likely ask, "What's a VIC 20?" :P Suggest moving the technical screen map off the cover and replace it with an image, such as: https://imageio.forbes.com/specials-images/imageserve/5efb9c6b3855ae0007ddff3e/Commodore-VIC-20/960x0.jpg And I se...

Re: A New Draft
Can this PDF format support bookmarks? PDF exports often have as an option off any header style formatting.
For example, its cover does not offer me to click on any TOC entry to jump to that page.

Re: NMI Restart
OK, a "custom" restart is wanted here. FWIIW, since the VIC did not come standard with a hardware reset, I was never a fan of games not allowing for a soft reset that would return the machine back to normal control. And the built-in Run/Stop RESTORE was no guarantee after the better games ...

Re: Raspberry Pi 400 - Computer in a keyboard!
^ Wow, thanks for that. You're welcome, hope you find it playable -- don't forgot to <U>pgrade your firmware, it made a difference to me. Yeah, this stuff can inspire differing creativity. Some like the immersive arcade action/attract like Legends, some prefer quick launch in & out, others pref...

Mancave
My mancave was recently renovated -- still only a partial picture, haha, there's an adjacent closet filled with new old monitors and tons of floppy + CD media. I am looking to dump more of my retro gear. I recently put out on the curb a working C64, 1541 drive, 40/80 column monochrome monitor with s...
