So I've been wondering if I can make a halfway decent version of Paku Paku (a.k.a. "Pac-Line") on the Odyssey 2. If I were to do this, here's what I'd do:

• I'd use the 12 characters for the dots. Here's a time when I wished for 16 characters. Of course I could use the quads, but...
• I'd use quads for the score. Quads 0 and 1 for the score (8 characters), and Quads 2-3 spell out "Pac-Line" (also 8 characters.)
• I'd make Pac-Man be sprite 0, the ghost be sprite 1, and the power dot be sprite 2, leaving sprite 3 free (or I could use it as a fruit?)
• Of course, the grid would be the tunnel.

Perhaps the next time I get bored, I'll begin work a spec screen to see just how feasible (and difficult) this would actually be.

I guess if my elbow bump is still there, I'll ask my doctor about it. My next appointment is in August. And I "need" a blood test even though everything is probably fine with my blood. So what if I have fatty liver? I'm still alive, aren't I?
