vanman Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 Can anyone get me the "Atari 2600 Programming for Newbies" tutorial in one document? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCorcoran Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I am almost finished converting this to a PDF. So far, it's 143 pages and that's leaving a bunch out. I can also convert the ENTIRE thread to PDF but it will be MUCH larger and contain quite a bit of discussion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dones Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 You have asked the same question three times already. Why don't you do it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCorcoran Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I have finished compiling this thread into a PDF. I have included commentary where appropriate and have also highlighted code blocks (per Andrew's suggestion). You can find it here: http://www.snipercade.com/atari/docs/2600p...programming.pdf File Size = 2.36MB Document Size = 145 pages Comments/Suggestions welcome.

EricBall Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 I've been reading through RCorcoran's PDF (up to chapter 7 so far), it's very nice. However the commentary bits need some work (though I'm pleased to see that many of my comments have been included). Sometimes it needs a some additional context, or probably should be moved to another chapter (e.g. the discussion about mul/div in chapter 6 should be in chapter 4 and have the context of the 6502 ASM book.)

RCorcoran Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Thanks for the feedback. I tried to keep it true to the original thread (as best as possible) and it does get a bit "jerky" now and then. I even considered including all commentary, but noticed a good amount were laudatory comments or not related to the discussion at hand. I am willing to accept any/all feedback, good, bad or indifferent, and adjust the document accordingly. I want this to be a valued (offline) resource and do Andrew and the AA community justice. Would it help to restructure the document in such a fashion that the poster of the "comments" are included? I opted not to do so initially as it looked strange... As for moving content, I think for a first pass I'll leave the doc as is. Once we have a good sense for the flow, we can all decide where commentary/topics need to be placed (logically).

RCorcoran Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 As a follow-up... is everyone o.k. with the Code comment blocks? Andrew asked that I segment the code better and change the text colour to make it easier to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link has expired and a google search for that filename didn't turn up any results. Does anyone have the latest version of this?
