Your first code for the Atari 2600 | 8Blit 

I started programming at age 13 and Microsoft QBasic on DOS was my first pick. Some time later, I studied a little bit of X86 assembly language but didn't dive much deeper into it than writing hello world and some basic loops. When I was 15, I found this group on Yahoo with Brazilian Atari 2600 programmers and I instantly joined them. Now, after two decades and some 😝, I work with software development and requirements analysis and am a hobbyist retro videogame consoles programmer. I mostly code for Atari 2600, NES and SEGA Master System/Game Gear.

I've been doing a lot of research on this topic, and that research led me to this series. I've subbed and I'll be following.

I started to wanna learn 6507 assembly and your channel saved me. I am keeping notes in my notebook, feels like taking a private lesson. Thank you!

I just found your channel today. Love it, instant sub! You need a Have you programmed Atari today? T-shirt 😄

Starting to learn how to code 2600 Assembly, this video was extremely helpful in taking my first steps - thank you!

I loved Dark Chambers on the 2600. My first gaming adventure!

great video, please continue to make programming related videos. thank you!

Enjoying this, using VS Code Atari Dev but works . Thanks for the lessons

I love all computer hardware, as long as someone out there is making something that seems impossible for it. Which is why I love the Atari so much, because practically anything more than a static sprite on a blank background seems impossible!

As a historical footnote the Mac uses the VBI and VBL tasks to calculate and reposition the cursor during blanking interrupts - which is why the Mac cursor is so smooth since it’s movement interval is synched to a an exact hardware interrupt interval. All other OSes use software timers to move the cursor which is why they are skittish.

Started programming back in 1983 with the TI 994A when I was 14. Programmed a bunch of video games for it in basic and extended basic. Began programming professionally in 1999 after finishing Army service and receiving a BS. Programmed mostly in C++ and Java and some VB. Never did any assembly or atari programming so I thought I'd take a look.

This is awesome, I just fixed my old Atari. Thanks man much appreciated

Great videos! You've got a new subscriber, your videos deserve more views. Thanks for sharing.

Cool Epiphone Casino! Is that the John Lennon reissue?

Absolutely awesome video. I love this. New Sub👍👌

10:30 wait so the X register on the 6507 is only 7 bits instead of the 8 of the 6502?!?! Or did you mean to initialize X to #80?

11:58 or init X to #37, DEX in each loop, and save two bytes (and some cycles) by avoiding the CMP.

Is the X register 8 or 16 bits? I thought the index registers are 16 bits. Also, it appears that the TIA is memory mapped at address $00xx, is this correct?

I'm going to make super smash bros game on the Atari 2600

Right now I'm maker new game then after that I'm going to make an Atari 2600 then after that I'm must make a version of every console OK?
