Probably faster than the crappy C64 version of the game lol I need to sort out a VIC20 and some desk space to go any further. There is no way to test the 22 column graphics on the 40 column C64 for performance of printing 220+ character $ variables needed for the road with fake checkerboard rasters etc. 3.5K memory could be a problem even with a 2 or 3 part loader to define the variables and graphics!! (5 sets of 3 255ish character variables + mountains on horizon (at least 11x 50ish char $ variables). no way to do it on the C64, the 256 character limit for $ variables and 40 column screen = dead end......but I have another idea for that ;-)
