I'm a 21 year old college student (22 in Feb.) going for a computer
systems degree. I posted awhile back that I had signed up to do a
directed study course on programming the 2600. Fortunatly for me
(unfortunatly for you guys) they allowed me to skip taking this. It seems
I was under the old system that required two 2 credit classes for part of
my degree, but they don't offer two credit classes any more. I had
already taken a 4 credit class but needed another class to fill the two
class requirement. Anyway, that's why I was planning on doing a directed
study on atari programming. But, they felt sorry for me and let me use
only the one 4 credit class to count for the requirement. Whew!
I've tried messing around with programming the 2600 but the lack
of detailed and understandable instructions on programming the 2600 have
pretty much halted any attempt at programming for awhile. I wrote
Stella-Graph to make it easier for me and others to throw playfield
graphics together. I HOPE the instructions I have in the text file
included with it actually make sense about playfield graphics.
