I keep going back to it though just to get a look at other approaches and the more I read it the more sense it makes. @Rob: When I first looked through it it was a real head-scratcher.

I was looking through that code before and was just blown away! There are so many files, and you have to do alot of bouncing around back-and-forth to see what is going on. It works really well, though, so it's definitely put together thoughtfully, it seems. Oh man, tell me about it! I was looking through that code before and was just blown away!

I like to separate the different pieces/components of my program as much as possible. Each piece does its own thing with its own data and that's it. Then the different pieces communicate with each other with flags. Makes it a lot easier to read the code. And spot bugs too. Actually, I think I should use separation more than I do. ca65 has a lot of cool scoping features that I don't use at all because I've been too lazy to read up on them. Reading through the source code for Neotoxin made me realize what I'm missing though. Neotoxin was written for a different assembler, but I think they have a lot of the same features. @Rob: Thanks!

I've been including all parts of movement into the actual control routines instead of a using a flag to set when the character movement routine should happen. That's good enough for smaller projects, but your way makes alot more sense for bigger endeavors, I think. Great post! This is definitely the kind of thing I need to implement.
