npub1g53y3t0krt8ems8pps9pd3vrs8y6q2xdpj0t7npdkh2m9j2fdumqnqv0hh (npub1g53…v0hh) Yeah! It wouldn't surprise me either if it was, say, a "freebie" of calculating positions via modular arithmetic 🙂 So much of what made this early stuff work was "happy accidents" (e.g., the 2600's ability to visibly display beyond the hardware-supported # of sprites by "strobing" certain registers)
