When Jordan Mechner wrote Karateka for the Apple ][, he used an array of pointers to rows. A team member realized that by inverting the order of the array, all graphics would appear upside down. Broderbund agreed to ship that "upside down" version on the backside of the single-sided floppy, so that if you booted it upside down it played upside down. https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/5/22564151/karateka-apple-ii... |
