Man, I don't know what I was expecting (having not played it), but that title theme absolutely SLAPS. I had to tweak the script a bit to pull in some of the higher notes, but it seems like it worked pretty well. You weren't kidding, this songs really throws a lot of notes at the VIC.

I love the way arpeggios sound like this. People often seem to use them subtly, but with the lack of individual channel volume controls here, you end up getting mercilessly blasted by them.

I guess the loader ran out of memory.
Starting at 4609, with Sys 4880 remains 271 bytes free for basic.
In addition the machine code program must be protected, lowering basic room with, for example
Starting with Run 80
80 Poke 52,maxhighmem and Poke56,maxhighmem : clr:Run

Thanks a lot! I'll read up a bit more on your suggestions here and see what I can do.
Holy crap that Solstice take is fantastic!

It turns out the aforementioned bugs were super present in the Gyruss the second time through, so it took me a little while to get this one done. But it should be pretty solid now!

I'm interested in trying to implement Viznut's waveforms, but the code currently overlaps with AEB's oscillator code in the tape buffer. I tried adapting the oscillator ASM source to a format that CBM Studio will take, but I'm a little confused how it deals with non-masked interrupts. I couldn't find anything in the documentation, either. Does anyone have any examples or pointers?

Yo yo!

I'm still at it with this thing, occasionally!

With all the news about Sonic on the C64, I figured I'd bring some Sonic to the VIC-20 too!

D64 is attached. You'll need at least 8K RAM expansion to play it.

Here, I have made a sprite for Sonic spinning. I'll leave the rest of the work to someone else.
