Description:
Are you feeling a bit tired of this overwhelming/fast-paced/framework-apalooza/jungle that is the world of software development today?
Do you need some refreshing vacation where you learn something really small, nerdy, and fun?
Well, book your tickets!
This course will teach you the basics of programming games for the classic Atari 2600 console using 6502 assembly language. If you are a complete beginner or if you are a pro developer, chances are you will learn something new and enjoy poking the bytes of a simple and minimal hardware architecture that is the classic Atari 2600 VCS.
Join me if you want to:
-
Expand your knowledge of computer architecture and low-level programming
-
Understand what happens under the hood when you write something as simple as print("Hello World") in your favorite high-level language
-
