This is crazy fast and useful! I tried to even compile with Austrospeed our code. The 3D cube rotation on C+4 (V3.5) was till pretty slow, and remained slow even after compiling, despite much bigger compiled file size. (BTW Austrospeed does NOT compile the gfx commands, just the calculation and the handling of variables speeded up) Congrats! I've never understood, when Commodore came with a new (modernized) version of the C64 (C64c), why they did not included a modern, but fully backwards compatible BASIC version with that, at least to add disc commands, some basic gfx and sound commands... I know, some may say less free memory could been left, but with some code optimalization they could still fit into the ROM size, and anyhow the BASIC routines are called via jump table.
