Hey folks.
I'm going to try my hand at this. After about 3 days I have gone through Kirk Israel's tutorial (thanks!), and I have a program that does, well, something, but not very interesting yet. My big question right now is: why did they make the electron beam so fast?
Just wanted to say hi. Hopefully I'll have more interesting stuff before long.
The question about the electron beam was a joke.

Welcome to AA! Assembly language programming is indeed very challenging on the 2600. I don't mean to imply that I am an assembly language programmer myself, but I have tried it out.

Thanks. I understand the concepts well enough, and I've worked with assembly enough to not be intimidated by that aspect. It's going to take some time to figure out some of the tricks to do things well. The quick missile check thread is a perfect example. I wouldn't have thought to use PHP -- and if that's what Combat did then it isn't an advanced trick.
Tonight I think I will sleep instead of code.
