Stewart, About the fact of "hitting" the hardware: I'm a poor guy who started with MSX and ended with AMOSPro (try Bert In The Magic Kingdom: I did it ! ). Now, after tasting the "joys" of coding in Assembler (learning with an old Abacus book: only 1.3! No AGA!), I decided to try with C. So I bought ROM Kernals 2.0, managed to get some documentation on AGA, and here I am. Now the fact is that I don't think I would hack the system to get more speed. I'll first learn my "graphic primitives", and then we'll see. Anyway I'm sure I will dispose of enough speed to make the whole think running without hacking: I managed to make 50Hrz games on AMOS, so why not on C, which is faster? Of course, this could change if I find another coder who's better than me… Diego
