*Cracks Knuckles* - Alright, I'm going to give it a go

[Alex DeBate]

I've decided to try my hand at 2600 Programming. No, I've never worked with a game before, so it'll be relatively new to me.I was told that this was a reliable community, so I'm going to put some eggs in this basket. I just wanted to introduce myself, so-uh-yeah... I'll just stick around for a while.

Are you doing it the hard way:

Or the easier way:

The easy way. I'm actually following this guide: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-an-Atari-Game/#step1 I'm definitely going to use Batari, at least for now.

That guide looks out-of-date. Doesn't seem to mention the Harmony cart:

It also doesn't seem to mention Visual batari Basic:

Odd... I found the Visual Batari Basic through it. Anyway, any recommendations?

Maybe I glanced over it too fast.
