This version includes improved sound effect arbitration, faster loading, a pause feature, and various bug fixes and optimizations. It provided valuable insights into leveraging the capabilities of the VIC-II and understanding the graphics hardware of the Atari 800 and C64, especially since I started with limited knowledge in this area. It’s time to move on to a new project.”
