If this was CVS, this would be version 1.1. The title is now different. AEENG would be more appropriate if you're trying to construct an Atari 2600 video game system from scratch. As neat as it sounds, it's not within the scope of the course I had in mind. I'll leave that up to someone else more technically advanced mind then me. ;) Prerequisite: No programming experience necessary I assume that all literature would be taken care of. (What literature would be used for this course anyway?) AVGP Atari Video Game Production Course Material List (Based on Radio Shack prices): 1 - Soldering Iron (preferably $7 - $10) 1 - Desoldering Iron (preferably $7 - $10) 1 - Supply of Solder (Around $2 - $5) 1 - set of Helping Hands (Around $15) 1 - ventilation fan and ventilation tubing a set of EPROM chips a set of used Atari cartridges 1 - set of screwdrivers 1 - EPROM burner (optional) 1 - 486 DX (or better) computer w/ Soundblaster (or better) 1 - Atari 2600 Course: 1 - Fundamentals and Basics - How to assemble a working ATARI cart using a supplied ROM image. 2 - Assembly I - Modifying graphics on an ATARI ROM image 3 - Assembly II - Understanding and modifying logic on an ATARI ROM image 4 - ATARI Fundamentals I - Understanding ATARI assembly language 5 - ATARI Fundamentals II - Understanding and using various television standards 6 - ATARI Honours - Creating an original ATARI 2600 game from scratch That's it for now. Kick it around a bit, take it apart, analyze, add some suggestions and such. Let's mold this puppy into something. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
