It was written...
I remember one program where I, honest to god, had to
optimize the code
because I was something like 7 bytes too big, and had to go through the
code and figure out whether I could move some data to the 6502's "page
zero" RAM or use some other technique to shave off the extra bytes!
Remember... in the ART of assembler programming.... shaving off the size of
the code is only 49% of the art. The 51% of the ART is shaving off cpu
cycles necessary to run it by careful choice of instructions and algorithms
and data structures :)
