It's now or never

I've decided to go ahead and restart thinking about making my Microvision homebrew. Microvisions aren't going to last forever. I'm surprised they've lasted this long already. The first step is understanding the propeller chip, something that is going to take a lot of time to do. The next step is to program my own SPIN code for the propeller chip. I guess I've always been the sort of person who thinks they can go ahead and do something without having it explained to me, or the sort of person who can't bear long explanations because they have a really short attention span. But this time, I need to know what to do and how to do it, which is unfortunate. I've added a store to my Microvision site, now I have a few things for sale pertaining to the Microvision. I'm ultimately planning to make the Microvision game using Block Buster carts. I'm going to replace the Balls button with up, the Paddle button with down, the Speed button with Level and the Go button will be a different-colored Go button. These will all be green because green is the color of frogs, and what I want to do is make a Frogger clone called "Frogs & Logs." So I hope to achieve all this by 2014, the 35th anniversary of Microvision. So I need to start now if I want to get this done next year. I've been slacking off on doing nothing, lol. http://www.atari2600land.com/microvision/
