Sounds like a good idea. What would really be neat is an Atari 2600
correspondance programing course. :-)
As for the poll, I really have no experience with 6502 programming.
I'm willing to learn how to program the 2600, but I know it's going
to take some time. Getting over the inital hump and actually start
messing around with code is the big hurdle at the moment. It's hard to
squeeze in coding for the 2600 when I'm currently in two different
programming courses. Hopefully I'll get started sometime this summer.
As for what type of game, a kaboom clone would be nice, but we'll see.
