Channel F

I got back into the Channel F. I had to untangle the power cord, which took about 5-10 minutes (it's a nest of wires). After that, I turned on my Channel F. It still works. I don't know why it WOULDN'T, though. I played a bit of Pac-Man on my multicart. I couldn't figure out Video Poker, though. And Video Whizball is actually a very good, unique idea that was well implemented.
I went and worked on Quest of the Cranberry for the first time in about a month. So what I basically did though was spruce up the title screen. I centered the text, added some clouds. Wondered why the clouds didn't show up. As it turns out, I was using the wrong shade of white. The Channel F's off-white and white are basically the exact same in my eyes. I'll have to ease back into Channel F programming.
I was playing with coding. I made a "GoSub" which basically consists of a submarine going around shooting off torpedoes. But since there is no easy way to check for collisions, I doubt I'd do anything with it. I also made a Frogger-type thing where the frog moves around a road. This was about a couple weeks ago. Then I switched back to Atari 7800 Basic programming. Back and forth I'll go between console programming. I need to move the letter O more to the right, but you get the general idea from this screenshot.
