You have to be patient.  Most 2600 games took about six months to complete, 
and that was by experienced assembly programmers working 
full-time.  Homebrews here typically take a lot longer because we're only 
working on it on and off during our spare time.

Going from BASIC to assembly is a big transition.  It requires a very 
different way of thinking about code.  That combined with the strict timing 
of the 2600 makes it very demanding.  It's impossible to program the 2600 
in a casual manner.  You have to be very aware of everything you are doing 
while you debug.
