How Woz's Code works

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/SpG8rgI7Hec

In Issue #80, we wished that Ben Eater would delve more into detail of his port of WozMon for the BE6502. And voila: it has happened.

Ben seems to be back in full force and has once again delivered. In his current video, he does just that, digging line by line through almost the entire original source. Woz's code – due to it's level of optimization – is not always straightforward and easy to read, but Ben, as always, excels at dissecting the details for us and explaining them perfectly in his usual manner.

By the way, you also learn a few tricks for low-level assembly programming for the MOS 6502.

Only Ben himself knows how this story will continue. As always, one can look forward to what's coming. Hardware expansion, or another step towards software?

We are eagerly waiting for the next update.
