Hello! Your tools are very cool! And you are inspiring me to do some hacking from Linux as well. (I don't have PulseAudio/ALSA input issues, so I wonder if it is a driver issue you're experiencing?)
Anyway, a few thoughts came to mind:
-
I noticed in your TODO list you mention "Convert to assembly language?" Have you checked out Beagle Compiler? [ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net:21/pub/apple_II/images/programming/basic/beagle/Beagle Compiler v3.2.dsk] Beagle's Applesoft compiler does a great job at speeding up programs, and even has a faster hires line routine. Would be worth a shot since your output is Applesoft.
-
Since you're using DOS 3.3 disks, why not use a souped-up DOS flavor for speedy loading, such as DiversiDOS? Because KSP is so cool, but waiting for a hires screen to load is trying on my patience. If the disk were formatted with DiversiDOS, the load would be about a second.
-
Declare all Applesoft variables in the very first line of code. I've heard that this speeds up program execution.
