Another fun thing to use is double-hires graphics.  There are no
readily available commands to use it from applesoft basic directly, but
fortunately applesoft can have extended "ampersand" commands that are
user-defined.

If anyone did it right it would be Beagle Brothers:

I have some information on double-lores mode as well on my website, but
from assembler not basic:

Side note:
Assembly programming on the Apple is also very easy (compared to
today's architectures anyway)  Why not give macro assembly a try some
time once you've mastered apple basic?  :-)
