Hi,

Andrew is doing a great job on explaining 2600 programming, but I notice that his lessons assume some familiarity with programming. Are there any complete assembly programming newbies interested in learning how to write assembly code so that you could apply Andrew's tutorials to make a 2600 game? I would start from the assumption that you know nothing about programming computers. The course would teach computer science fundamentals leading into understanding 6502 Assembly programming basics, and ending with advanced techniques and tricks for fast, small code.

Who would be interested?

Regards,

If it will help me program the classics, YES!

I think that would be a great idea! I know I could use a refresher on ASM. It has been almost 20 years since my last course in ASM (graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 1985).... I'd probably just skim the CompSci fundamentals though.

If it were up to me, I'd say GO FOR IT! PLEASE!

I would love a course! It's been 10 years since I took M68000... :!:

Okay, I'll give it a go. Give me a few days to get organized. I will post the first session this weekend.

Cheers!

Sounds like a good idea, I'm a total newbie to programming, my dad was a programmerand did 6502 assembly etc.....but that was like 20+ years ago, and he can't remember half of it to teach me.......

Looking forward to it !
