I recently discovered a 6502 BASIC compiler that for some reason has been flying beneath everyone's Radar for some reason. It has had X16 target support apparently for at least 18 months. Compiler is documented here: https://xc-basic.net
Anyway. I ported my previous clone of Mystify (viewtopic.php?t=6555) to XC=BASIC It took a bit of doing and there are some gaps in the Compiler coverage for the X16 (greatly mitigated by a full featured inline assembler) But the performance difference speaks for itself. This IS FASTER THAN BLITZ and more feature complete as well.
This program needs one more feature before I post it to DEMOSCENE. But it's presentable now, and It's my Bedtime. So I'm posting what I have done.
Try It Now!

Nice!!!

Look at FAST in the DIM statement. That should speed up your loops.

If you do not see any flak... Your not on target!
