Tutorials

This includes small projects and examples drawn from other sources that we explored to learn more about the Atari 2600 and its assembly code.

• HelloWorld: A simple 2600 application that displays text, great for mastering on screen writing and hexadecimal code.
• Ball: A classic 2600 football game enhanced with smoother animation, great for mastering frames and animation.
• Snake: An exploration of a basic snake game, great for learning dynamic sprites and score keeping. This isn't for any Atari console; it runs in a special 6502 emulator: http://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502
• Collect: A basic 2600 game inspired by a blogpost; the player must go around the play area and collect as many boxes as possible within the time limit.
