Originallywritten by Steve Wozniak and used in the Apple II, Sweet 16 can also be ported to other 6502-based systemsto provide useful 16-bit functionality. This article includes the source code for Sweet 16, along with a brief history,programming instructions, and notes to help port it. This material was provided by Carsten Strotmann, who has built a working Atari Port of Sweet 16.

It is areally tricky und useful extension to a 6502 computer. It was originallywritten by Apple's Steve "Woz" Wozniak and can be found in the ROM of someAPPLE ][ Computers. Sweet 16 is a kind of virtual machine that gives the 6502programmer a 16 bit extension to the CPU. Sweet 16 creates sixteen 16-bitregisters/pointers (in zero page) and new opcodes to use this registers.Although Sweet 16 is not as fast as standard 6502 code, it can reduce the codesize of your programms and ease programming.

As the desired character for each column passes the print position, a hammer strikes the paper from the rear and presses the paper against the ribbon and the drum, causing the desired character to be recorded on the continuous paper.

APPLE II PERSONAL COMPUTER SYSTEM ™ APPLE II PERSONAL COMPUTER SYSTEM APPLE II will change the way you think about computers. That’s because it is specifically designed to handle the day to day tasks of education, financial planning, building security, scientific calculation, and entertainment. APPLE II is appealing and comfortable (like other appliances that make your life easier); and it brings to personal computing a new level of simplicity through hardware and software sophistication. APPLE II is faster, smaller, and more powerful than its predecessors. And it’s more GETTING fun to use too, because of advanced, built-in features like: STARTED • BASIC — The Language that Makes Programming Fun • Fifteen-Color Standard Graphics (in an 1,880-Point Array) for Spectacular Visual Effects • High-Resolution Graphics ( in a 54,000-Point Array) for Finely-Detailed Displays • Loudspeaker and Sound Capability that Brings Programs to Life • Four Hand-Control Inputs for Games and Other Human-Input Applications • Internal Memory Capacity of 48K Bytes of RAM, 12K Bytes of ROM; for Big- System Performance in a Small Package • Eight Accessory Expansion Slots to let APPLE II Grow With Your Needs You don’t need to be an expert to use and enjoy APPLE II. It’s a complete, read-to- run computer — not a kit. Connect it to your color TV* and start writing programs the very first evening. Become familiar with BASIC, using the 125 page Programming Manual. You’ll gain deep satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment as you learn to create color games and artistic displays; or instruct APPLE II to chart your home finances.

Notation: R = a 16 bit "Register" operand designation, one of 16 labelled 0 to 15 (decimal), 0 to F (hexidecimal) ACC = register operand R0 @R = indicrect reference, using the register R as the pointer <-, -> = assignment of values 4.

    Bill Budge Named As 2Nd AIAS Pioneer Award Recipient

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACADEMY OF INTERACTIVE ARTS & SCIENCES NAMES BILL BUDGE AS ITS SECOND PIONEER AWARD RECIPIENT Visionary programmer recognized for revolutionizing game design and user interfaces CALABASAS, Calif. – January 21, 2011 – The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has announced that Bill Budge will be its second AIAS Pioneer Award recipient. The Pioneer Award recognizes the contributions made by the men and women who helped to create the interactive entertainment industry. Budge has been an innovator in the video game space for more than 30 years and is recognized for a number of advancements in software engineering technologies that have helped pave the way for past and present generations of game designers everywhere. The Pioneer Award will be presented by Don Daglow, president and creative director, Daglow Entertainment, at the 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, during the 2011 D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, and Entertain) Summit on Thursday, February 10, 2011 at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas. The awards will be hosted by actor, comedian and game enthusiast Jay Mohr. “From writing quality codes to designing games that paved the way for future program designers, Bill Budge has been nothing less than an inspiration to everyone around him,” said Martin Rae, president, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. “Rational, realistic, competent, professional and humble are all words I’ve heard people use to describe him over the years, but I feel nothing describes him better than pioneer.” Early in his career, while working for Apple, Budge designed games independently including the popular Raster Blaster in 1981 designed for the Apple II and distributed through his own company, BudgeCo.
