RAM @TACK

A TROPE intro by nom de nom for Atari VCS (aka Atari 2600)

Thanks to Le Colonial (M. Dr. Prof. I. Bogost) for help getting a picture drawn in the first place.


Party version (with some unnecessary initialization) is in a standard
4kb ROM image, with 147b of that used.

However, the main loop, along with all variables (okay, only 1b) and
all needed room for the stack (okay, by design there are no subroutines
so that's only 0b), all together fits into 128b and is loaded into RAM.

This means the cartridge can be pulled from the VCS and the intro will
keep running, as was done at the party. The photo included is of the
intro running without a cartridge in the VCS.
