Well, that's unfortunate.

Perhaps if you try to space out the calculations or whatever across multiple frames? I've never programmed the Odyssey^2 but I kind of understand that it doesn't have a frame buffer so similarly to the 2600 you'd chase the beam, or at least can do computations during the vertical blank area? The game might run slower, but perhaps that is the solution to prevent walls from flickering.

Dude, you shouldn't just give up. I remember when you wanted to give up with GoSub, Government Waffle Project, and even UpMonsters; but you didn't and look where they ended up! UpMonsters even won second prize in the IntyBASIC Programming Contest.

 

That said, Killer Heads Of Lettuce also looks promising, so maybe you just need to focus on one game or platform at a time?
