Commodore 128D: Episode 6: Joysticks and CIAs

Let's cover how joysticks work, and how to use them in a program!

You, too, can make your own RetroPad! https://github.com/jtgans/RetroPad

Apologies for the car horns and voiceover quality: I recorded the voice overs entirely in Bucharest, Romania without proper equipment. Live segments were recorded using a Rode shotgun mic this time since I only have one Lavalier. Still learning how to do this right.

Huge thanks to Greg Link who offered to act as Agent Zero in this one. Thanks! ^,^
