5200 Development

[kamakazi]

Hey All! I may have asked this before...but what all would be needed to start creating software for the 5200? I've got an emulator already so that's not a big deal. I also use Crimson Editor. I plan to create some 8-bit on a real Atari 8-bit and when finish plan to port the software to the 5200 through the use of a PC. What else do I need?

 

If possible, what would someone recommend for creating graphics on a PC...besides Windows Paint?

Well for Sprites and Character sets, I'm new to the 5200 graphics scene btw as I started with the 2600, I'm trying out a program called AtariTools-800. The programming for it is still being completed, but the programmer was nice enough to give me the program as-is so I could try it out to see if it's what I wanted. There's a pop-up Ad page that happens, but if you want to check it out it's > Here. <
