2600-Snakes

Simple little snakes game in 6502 assembler for the Atari 2600.

Play the latest stable version using the excellent online emulator:

Alt text

The lack of available RAM (the 2600 only has 128 bytes!) limits the play area to a 16x16 grid so that the location of each body segment can be represented by 1 byte. Playfield graphics are then manipulated on every scanline to draw the body of the snake using an 8 line kernel.
