Live coding Snake in AtariBasic

Recommended Posts

A couple of months ago I came across this video of programming Snake on the Apple II. After I got over the initial shock of how painful the Basic editor is on the Apple II, I thought that it would be cool to recreate it in AtariBasic. The culmination of which is now in a state that can be shared.

 

Behold GozSnake in all it's glory!

Yes, there are tons of improvements that need to happen, but at this stage I think I'll start over. I wrote this over the course of 4 livestreams without really planning anything. It is the epitome of spaghetti code.

 

You can check out a bootable disk image and the code over at the Github repo.

 

What I'm most proud of is the automatic updating of the Github repo as I program on my Atari 1200XL. Using a Fujinet and a local Linux host, I could automatically post the code to Github whenever I changed it on the Atari. Full details at my blog.
