Nice one DrewPee, runs fast here too, it just need a "delta time" code to control scroller speed

Thanks for the greetings!

:-)  Nice 1

ahhhh, I remember my first demo on the C64....  Had a logo swinging left to right, a plain right to left scroller, and 8 bouncing sprites just hanging out.  Oh yeah, baby, oh yeah.

Nice one. Is there a speed limiter/vsync/timer or not? The scroller and stars here go quite faster than I'd like to enjoy and read it..

No - im still working on a timing system - ive got another piece of code on here at the mo which also needs a slowdown me thinks!

Will sort and re-release it i think - either that or a new demo . . . :D

Thanks for the nice comments.
