Hmm, I don't know your code from Alien Breed (in Basic right?) but explain a
little more about how you are deriving this pixel data? Are the pixels
generated randomly, how are they stored to the picture, how do you recall
them, what use does this 2x2 pixel data have to the game, etc...? You may
find it easier to start over I guess, and store the data as numerical values
in an array of ".db" statements. You're familiar with those right? Hmm, I'm
just thinking that using the exact same method, but converting it to ASM, is
Not your best bet. Try to explain to us more what your Basic code does, so We
(the List [or maybe its just me who feels like helping]) can get a better idea
of whats going on, and improve your method. cya... =)
