Brr!
Brought my Atari 520stm with SM124 black/white screen @640x400@70hz into class to the envy of the physics teacher, and did anything the others did in Comal in 68k macro assembly :-)
Usually in less time btw.
- vardump 4y ago68k assembly is pretty high level and easy to program. The instruction set looks like made for C. Even things like post-increment (x++) and pre-decrement (--x) in addressing modes. So something like "d = *x++;" is just one instruction.
- FullyFunctional 4y agoIndeed, having just read up on the history the Atari and the Amiga both seems generational ahead beyond the price delta. (OT: Comal var ikke dårlig sammenlignet med BASIC).
