Right, right, great... I worked on a program like this in z80 asm for the 83
a while back along with Jason K. Pretty nice for BASIC programmers, had
functions like a getkey that paused, inverse text, a sprite thing, even
working on something that would allow you to do music...some other functions
too.
So, I don't know enough 68k yet to do this - you might even be able to do
some stuff like that in BASIC for the 89. Finding the chr( ) command was
really nice. Anyway, I think that'd be helpful to me and other aspiring
programmers as we strive to conquer the somewhat weak realm of the BASIC.
