I'd love to see a FRIENDLY competition for what can be achieved, best of the best in a demo situation, not general game. Wonder if you could drop this in the 5200 programming forum and spark a friendly competition, with no bickering, no mud slinging, just working code allowed. Ok, I just want to ask: CAN THE ANTIC/GTIA DO 512*16 SPRITES?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecernosoft Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 If the answer is no then it's been obvious the Maria beats Antic/GTIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one was debating, "To get the most out of the hardware though it does take what I said,at the end of the day assembly is needed for the most sophisticated games there is no way around that." No one was trying to broaden your view surrounding "Learning programming takes years in asm,those that do have earned respect,only in 2022 are others trying to claim very hard working people are in the same class as others.life does not work that way". The latter went from a moving the goalposts response to providing a strawman retort. The thrust of what prompted the responses goes back to the statement: "You'll need to switch to asm to show real dedicated love.Not just for 7800 but to truly love programming" The quoted and in bold statement above, is what yielded the replies from RevEng and the statements from Karl. Instead of, "You'll need to switch to asm to show real dedicated love.Not just for 7800 but to truly love programming", if perhaps the statements were more along the lines of "I discovered once I switched to programming in asm, I truly loved programming", or "From my experience, in order to bring out the best in a system when programming for it, I needed to switch to asm, and then also found myself truly loving to program", it would be taken in a completely different light. Anyhow, it's a great hobby and certainly the 7800 platform, and programming for it, can be an exciting, wonderful, and adventurous time, often incorporating an individual's talent and passions or passionate perspectives. Ok. @Traxx, I do want to say one thing in your favor and that is Speed. ASM will always be the fastest. But, he is right on basically everything else.
