Heliomass<p>Weekend Atari 2600 project! I’m trying to make a colour bar test pattern in assembler.</p><p>Horizontal bars; easy. Just switch the colour each time the beam drops down a row.</p><p>Vertical bars seems to be more challenging as I’m trying to change the colour mid-way through a scanline. For some reason the colours seem to be random each time I run my code.</p><p>I suspect I’ve a fundamental misunderstanding of how this should work.
