Kaj de Vos Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello, 2600 fans! I am developing a new programming language, that I am now targeting at the 2600. The first target was the Atari 400/800/XL/XE, my old machine. Here is a rainbow demo that I ported from the Atari 8-bit version: https://language.meta.frl/examples/platforms/Atari/2600/rainbow.rom It shows that the new language is small and fast enough to race the beam. It generates 286 scanlines, achieving a display frequency of 55Hz. This is inbetween PAL/SECAM and NTSC, so it will work on all of them, if you have a tolerant television set. The original is here: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
