- dan-robertson 2y agoI also don’t know. Reading the comments in the OP, it seems it’s some kind of defence game where successful attacks (ie those you fail to defend against) modify the game code, causing surprising behaviour.
- Luc 2y agoYup, Missile Command, but the game code is located in bottom of the bitmap ('frame buffer' if you like), so when the line drawing code writes to that area it will modify it. Shenanigans! The bitmap would end before $3fff though, since it's only 8000 pixels.
- duskwuff 2y agoMissile Command, except instead of cities at the bottom of the screen, it's the data and code of the game (which is resident in video RAM). Fail to intercept a missile? Game gets corrupted.
