So I have discovered something I am fearful of: I don't know what I'm doing. Nevertheless, I trudge on, trying to learn stuff as I go along.

Since WAIT is only being used in the scrolling_portion subroutine in my code, I guess that's where most of the code is actually being executed. Or something. Like I said, I don't know.

I took a lot of time to delete in my code a place where a goto command is in a subroutine. It took forever to make it work since I don't know what I'm doing. I also made the sound "cleaner" by only making the music use channels 0 and 1 instead of 0, 1 and 2. Sound effects are in channel 2. I think if I keep working on this, I might as well bite the bullet and get an expensive thing to test my creation on a real Colecovision.

I didn't see the northern lights last night, which was disappointing. Before I went to bed, I went outside and saw the moon almost new. I woke up at around 3 a.m. and before I went back to sleep, I went to the living room and looked outside. No pretty green and red sky or anything.
