Fixed all the (known) bugs in the score saving code. Works slick now. Also added button hints to each screen (e.g. green = continue) with some more custom characters created in the menu character set. Also rewrote joystick scanning code for the menus into two blocking (one for active block and one for inactive) functions that poll and save the results. This freed up about 1K, which I promptly used in other sections. About 4K left in memory, it’s a balancing act from here out, but I think I can make it.

Next up – improving the graphics a bit on the main game screen.
