The (T)itle-typing seems to bug a little

If you have trouble typing a title, try pressing the
"delete" key 32 times (or holding it down) to
clear
out any stray characters in the
title.

there's no room left for the code

Hmmm. I suppose you could get the code in at
the
expense of sprites.
Of course, if I were writing
JSW128 *now* rather than in 1996, with all the knowledge
of JSW's internals I've built up, then you'd very
likely end up with 150 rooms, 64 sprite pages, guardians
set up individually in each room rather than using
class tables, and plenty of room for fancy code. But in
the process I'd probably change the engine so much
that it would be very difficult to import old
datafiles or write editors.
