The article explains how to separate world coordinates from a visible viewport in a C64 BASIC game. It starts with a naive 11-by-11 camera slice rendered from a larger map, keeping the player centered where possible. It then improves performance with lookup tables, a flattened map array, loop unrolling, and notes on further retro-system optimizations.
