Typo in Kirk Israel's 2600 101 tutorial

[atari_aaron]

Does anyone know what Kirk Israel's email address is? There's a typo in his 2600 101 tutorial that affects the result of his "My First Program" section. I would like to let him know so he can update it.

 

Thanks,

Ok... I guess it was my error. Or rather my typo... I tried and I tried and I looked and I looked and it must be because it was so late at night, but I could not find any differences between his code and my own...

 

The only thing I could see was that in the commented example of his code there is an extra "LDX #$FF" line that's not in the uncommented example. So I assumed that this was the problem... but then I thought about it some more... went to bed... and thought about it some more... and then I realized that this line of code shouldn't make any difference... so I got out of bed... started up the computer again... and loaded what I had typed into three other text editors... when I finally realized that I had typed an "O" instead of a zero...

 

Sorry all,

Hey, you're right...on "My First Program", there is an extra

LDX #$FF in the comment version...and as you kind of noticed, it shouldn't make much of a functional difference, because X should still be set to $FF from the LDX instruction a few above that. Still, I'll take care of that, synch up the two versions.
