Ironically, displaying "Hello World" onscreen would require some fairly
sophisticated programming no matter how you do it ;) (well, I suppose you
could do it with the playfield without a sophisticated kernel, but then it
would be Hello Hello World World...)
Nick Bensema's playfield tutorial is where you need to start. Well, and of
course you need DASM to build your binfiles for testing in an emulator or
the Supercharger. Get thee to http://www.io.com/~nickb/atariprg.htm for a
good start, and look for his tutorial at
http://www.io.com/~nickb/nbtia_1.asm . After that it's all zen ;)
