Re: woz' original "brick out" - source code , paddles

[Mike Willegal <mike@willegal.net>]

An early "Breakout" listing is in the redbook.  As for the paddles, 
connect an 150K ohm potentometer between +5v and each paddle input. 
Since 100K ohm potentiometers are much more common these  days, you can 
use one of those and in addition connect .01 uF cap between the paddle 
input and ground to make up for the difference in resistance.  The 
paddle circuit simply measures the RC time constant that varies with the 
potentiometer setting. The game port pin out is also in the red book 
which can be found online in a couple of places.  Search for "Apple II 
reference manual".
