You cast integers to pointers and play with fire, of course!

Void*? Int. Char**? Also an Int. I take it back. This is true systems programming - the same type safety that raw assembly is known for.

Ironically Assembly is safer than C and languages that descend from it, because although CPUs might have undefined behaviour when given undocumented opcodes, or operation modes, the CPU doesn't rewrite your code without telling you about it.

That's "safer" only against a very specific and limited set of dangers. But it opens the door to other dangers.

Yes it is. Great comment.

Naturally with PEEK and POKE.
