Making Telemachus // Sprites + Joysticks // Programming in bAtari Basic!

Описание: #Atari2600 #bAtariBASIC #AtariHomebrew #GameDev #IndieGame
I’m making a game for the Atari 2600! Join me in this second video for a breezy look at my early code-- as I get a lot of things wrong-- but manage to slide some sprites around.

I'm learning bAtari BASIC, and have a swiss-cheese understanding so far, so feel free to share your more accurate knowledge in the comments below…
