Interesting! I'll try this program tomorrow and see what happens.

i bet it can be upto 10x+ times faster if you rewrite it on pure 6502 assembly without decimal operations (division by 10 and mod by 10)

of course.. and i couldn't agree more..

but so far,  BASIC is the most - platform independent programming language (although it is quite slow, as interpreting language) for all famicom clones with keyboards!
