brainwagon Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 What do you all think? I'm actually going to take my first real Atari 2600 program, burn some roms, put it in a cartridge, use this as a label, and then wonder why everyone arounds me wonders if I've gone off the deep end. :-) I haven't had this much fun programming in a while.

brainwagon Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 It is indeed. I wrote a simulator in C back when I read Simon Singh's The Code Book and was working on breaking his 10 challenge ciphers for a $10,000 prize (I got seven). Stage 8 required a working Enigma emulator, so I rewrote the C code in 6502 and then worked on the interface (which still requires a bit more work, but all the bits are there). It emulates the three rotor machine, including the Stecker plugboards. Should be fun when it is all done. Someday I suppose I'll have to write a real game. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
