I'm not obsessed with calculators, and I think my 85 is just great...
I've jumped onto the PalmPilot bandwagon. :-)
But before that happened, I was thinking of implementing Abalone for the
85. I'm still a newbie at ASM, but I'm at ground zero for the
PalmPilot.
My biggest problem with Abalone is in movement of marbles. For anyone
who's familiar with the game, you'll realize that the hexagonal grid
doesn't match up cleanly with four directional buttons. So how do you
move the marbles (especially groups moving laterally)?
