Hey all,

I've created a random poetry generator for the VCS. It's a little abstract, and you'll probably want to read my write-up about it here: http://www.sonnyrae....generative.html to better understand it.

I'll attach the .bin here, but the .asm file is available at the above site as well.

Enjoy!

That's interesting and a lot of fun.

How are you generating the randomness? Interval between button pushes?

Great idea! And, yes, I agree, the VCS platform is boundless and only limited by our own imaginations.

Thanks!

For the randomness, I used the standard LSFR routine (searchable in these forums), using a simple timer to help seed the routine. Not reliant upon time between button pushes, a standard cycle timer run-down seemed good enough for this one, though I had to insert a condition into the LSFR routine in the case that a zero was used.
