You've got a very good point there.
Still, I've been thinking recently about ways to make 2600 programming
more accessable to the average bean.
Many of us on this list have some form of 650x machine language experience,
even if (as with me) it was last used over 15 years ago.
I've been wondering about things like building a selection of generic
routines and sub-routines that can be incorporated with different
variables to make 2600 games (kind of like Activision's "Game Maker"
for the C-64).
Or even creating a new and simple programming language that will compile
efficiently into 2600 6507 code.
But that'll have to wait until I've gotten the hang of programming the
2600 on it's own terms.
