Welcome!

Well, hello there, Atari friends! Thanks for dropping by! This site is a working record of my attempt to re-educate myself on the Atari 8-Bit computer, and mainly on its programming languages and capabilities. But, along the way, I'll be playing games and experimenting with applications, and looking at other people's projects. So, you may find this interesting, too! I hope you do.

Here is a code block:

100 REM PLAYER/MISSILE EXAMPLE
110 DIM A$(512),B$(20)
120 X=X+1:READ A:IF A<>-1 THEN B$(X,X)=CHR$(A):GOTO 120

4020 IF Y>213 OR Y<33 THEN V=-V
4030 IF Z>206 OR Z<49 THEN H=-H
4420 GOTO 4000
