Ahh yes, I use VICE regularly (not for programming of course! For games silly.). 646 is the correct location for changing the cursor colour, although this doesn't work as desired when you poke character codes directly to screen memory, but it does work when you use the print statement, so you could use it here. Yes yes, you can roll it back at 256, hehee, and sometimes you would just put 64 or 128 for the hell of it. Talk about tragic... Ok... I still have all the old manuals and the basic programming manual. Never did learn assembly for it though, my parents wouldn't buy the book for me. Do you like how I spent time to get the colours looking semi sort of authentic like... Yes, it is time to shoot me now too.
