Crafting Classics: Atari 2600 BASIC Programming Explained 

It's possible... then again, probably not ;)

@@MissionEdPossible Okay, maybe a six week mini series.

That *might* be possible -- why not try for yourself!

@@MissionEdPossible I might try...I've also thought it would be an interesting exercise to write a real-time, compatible interpreter that does 4 additional things. Ability to save/load programs, edit more than 9 lines of code, allow full editing of the code (without attempting to write it from the bottom up), and give it more memory for longer programs... :)

Whoa. Now that I've seen it in action. Just wow. You've written all three possible programs. Genius. Well done, sir!

Thanks! Yeah, it was on purpose - need to lose more!

Haha, I'm sure there might be a couple more, but not sure I have them in me!

It encouraged me to buy an Atari 400. Best decision ever.

If 2600 BASIC Sucks Then Buy Atari 400.

@@michaelstoliker971 i saved all my paper route money for a year to get an Atari 800. No disk. Not enough money for that. Just the 410 cassette.

@SyntheToonz Yeah, emphasis on barely! The insults would be interesting -- I guess as long as it's less than 60 or so characters, that would work.

@michaelstoliker971 At least entering the data is somewhat easier! :)
