VIC Animation
I am 11 years old and I own a VIC-20. My friend owns a Commodore 64. We both make graphics on them. He has the advantage of sprites, but I have figured out a way for the VIC-20 to have a form of sprites. The VIC-20's graphics are made from top to bottom, which allows vertical sprites. Here's a demonstration program.
