vanman Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Ok, I have 4 things. 1. What is the difference between the programming languages of the 2600, the 5200 and the 7800? 2. Which one is easiest and best to use? 3. Do I need any programming expierence? 4. Where can I get tutorials for the programming languages? Please give me the easiest ones (and the most thorough I would like to be able to do anything the programming language is capable of) because I dont have any experience in programming. Period.

+Allan Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 The easiest system to program for is the 5200 because: 1. There is the most documentation for it since it is basicly an Atari 400 with some minor changes. 2. There is not only a good assembler but also 5200BAS Basic compiler available for it. You can't program in Basic for the 2600 or 7800. Try www.atariarchives.org and www.atarimagazines.com for starters. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 5200 is definitely the easiest. Also I would include the Lynx on that list since it is 6502-based. Also the Lynx is very easy to program. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
