Today we will see how to convert a complicated algorithm from BASIC to C, then to 6502 assembler, and the optimization process involved.
It all started when Goyo asked in September 2021 if anyone had a fast floodfill routine to share.

Efficient rasterizationWed 2nd February 2022
I was writing an article about how to create an efficient Flood Fill routine on the Oric, but then I realized that many of the optimizations were generic and could be part of a dedicated article about how to write efficient rasterization code.

The hidden cost of making videosTue 4th September 2018
Earlier this year, I was told that it would be "kind of cool" if I did some videos to show how I developed my Oric and Atari projects, instead of just writing blog posts and forum updates.
The first real test was in February when I did a few hours of live streaming during the Global Game Jam 2018.
