Meanwhile… I'm adding a new utility to "6502 Tools" for all you old-school Atari 8-bit coders out there. The "ATASCII Insert" Sublime Text plugin provides quick access to inverted and special characters in supported fonts like Atari Classic. #RetroCoding #Atari #MOS6502

Next step: the purchase screen for galactic goods. After stuffing all the data into my variables, things had gone quiet for a little too long.

I'm making steady progress in my quest to properly redo that game I wrote in 1983 using Atari BASIC + 6502…

"Snorky!" is an homage to Q*Bert that follows the logic that if hopping on a small pile of cubes makes Q*Bert fun then many more cubes should be even more fun!

BASIC string demo code.

Your #AtariBASIC tip of the day.

Numbers in AtariBASIC are always 6 byte floats! But you can use strings to store integer data and access it with PEEK and POKE.

Strings can also be cleverly manipulated to manipulate memory and even draw player-missile graphics.

Atari BASIC code running alongside Sublime Text with 6502 Tools plugins.

The Atari 400 / 800 / XL nostalgia bug has got me looking back at old unfinished projects from 43 years ago and thinking, surely, with all my high level language experience I could do much better at Atari BASIC scaffolding code augmented with 6502 assembly today. We shall see! #RetroCoding

Meanwhile, in #retrocoding stuff, my work on the blog lately has returned around the #TI99/4A, a very strange old system that cast an very long shadow (out at least to the SNES and Genesis).
