6502 assembly language for the Atari 2600 (which actually uses a 6507). I've always wanted a lower level understanding of computers, but it took childhood nostalgia to finally motivate me. I also enjoy reading about the original engineers from Atari, Activision, Commodore, etc, so it's been rewarding to dabble in that world.
- veganjay 5y agoSounds interesting! What resources are you using to learn? In case you haven't seen it already, http://8bitworkshop.com/ http://8bitworkshop.com/ provides an online IDE.
- 2_ghosts 5y agoThanks! 8bitworkshop is a great resource. I am currently working through this online course by Gustavo Pezzi called "6502 Assembly Language for the Atari 2600". https://courses.pikuma.com/courses/atari2600 https://courses.pikuma.com/courses/atari2600 It has been excellent. Just the pace and level of detail that I need. I am lucky to have stumbled upon it. I am also reading "Making Games for the Atari 2600" by Steven Hugg. Previously I was simply exploring what is available on http://www.6502.org/ http://www.6502.org/, working through the Easy 6502 tutorial https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/ https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/, and checking out YouTube tutorials.
