10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 is a concise and elegant single line of code written in BASIC for the Commodore 64 sometime in the early 1980s. When run, it produces a maze-like pattern on the screen in an endless loop. Sven Dahlstrand rewrote this one-liner for the original Game Boy, written in assembly language using the RGBDS toolchain. ROM, source, and documentation are freely available.
Thanks to Sven Dahlstrand for the hint!

This week light defines form and shapes our understanding of space. We also hit the road while trying to avoid cholera, starvation or drowning in a river. Our listeners have shared so many memories of Toys ‘R’ Us that we had to make a special segment of it, and people are making some outrageous demands for the characters to be in the next Smash Bros game. We’re repairing N64 memory cards and trying to learn the difference between aisles and isles in this episode of the Retro League.

In this episode, we did work to get the asset tool to output content for the NES. It’s counting the colors used by the images selected, generating a visible palette of 4 colors, warning if too many colors are used, and reducing the colors down to the 4-color palette. In the next episode, we’ll use this pre-work to export the data in a properly encoded NES tile format. We also showed how the data would be used in the schmup game by switching from hard-coded data to using .include and .incbin
