Testing out the speed of three commands in putting out characters onto VIC20's screen: PRINT, POKE or SYS (Machine Language = ML). Three types of tasks were tested: (1) Output a full screen (22 lines ie. except the last line) of strings (each string is 22 characters long) (2) Fill in the screen (22 lines x 22 columns) with a coloured character (3) Place a coloured character at a random (x,y) location on the screen, 1000 times Sourcecodes and disk image (D64): https://github.com/absayuti/speedtest...
