atari2600land's Blog - I love sleep.

RSS Bot · January 27, 2018

Back working on my Atari 2600 assembly game I promised to pick up again sometime in January. While it is the 27th, it still is January. So anyway, while working on the game, I inadvertantly changed the landscape of the game. I noticed I had commented out a "sleep" command because I apparently didn't need it any more. So I put it back in. I don't know how long I told it to sleep, I tried a few different values. But 30 seemed to work best. Plus, it still has a stable 262 scanline count.

This is very tiring. I spent the last few nights working on this trying to make it work and it works most of the time. Grr. And what's even more frustrating is I can't get it to not work any more when I know the most recent version sometimes won't because I tried it and it didn't.
