LM80C: sprites in assembly

This is a quick update about my tests with sprites. I tried the speed of assembly to compare how fast sprites can be moved around the screen compared with what we can obtain using BASIC.

This is the result:

Embarrassing, isn’t it? Sprites are flickering really fast, it’s nearly impossible to follow one of them during its movement around the screen. For comparison, the speed achieved in BASIC is insanely slow!
