Thanks PacManPlus,I'm ok with how the hardware works now,Another dev friend would would ask me "it would be awesome to do 7800 dev" and now it's possible.
I'm going out of my way to help him,there are others that know the 7800 hardware that want a programmer..yet I decided to help a person that doesn't. I asked a friend of mine that's in my dev circle(musician and artist) to help him if he has trouble.
I offered to program a game,most work being done is on the programmer(in this case it's me),My rule is the person asking for my skill, has to provide what I demand..if they cannot meet my request then I don't provide my time,It's that simple.
You create all assets in the images below,if you can show commitment to converting your assets from the first 3 stages I'll do the programming of the of those first levels.If you want the same level layout then it's a 8x16 layout(I recommend drawing some pixels in this mode first) if not then 3x16 and that means display layout needs to be changed.Decide which you want to go with and show me.I'll program your first three levels,then we can discuss further.
Yes please move forward with this,If you plan on selling this can you create an option to purchase the rom to support your dev,I don't own an Intellivision so I can't purchase a boxed copy but I'd buy a digital download.
Is it possible to write or modify characters in memory for intellision?I ask because on c64 when dealing with char bullets we can save a few characters in at the end of vic memory that we mask with the bullet char and color then use those so there is no black around the char bullet,Like this

I've no idea how intelli hardware works so disregard this if that's not possible.
What you've done in this release made a big visual difference,a very good one.Super impressed with the game,I've never played the intellivision before...this game got me playing it.
Did you get "hello world" working Karl G?I took Bobs example source,rewrote parts and removed sprite handling code,removed the tile and sprite data and included my own.I can send you the source if still interested in asm programming.
