iguana #1 Posted April 25, 2002 What is an atari assembler and what is it for? I saw it the other day it was a cart and had a book with it on how to use it, but i could not take a look at it. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindfield #2 Posted April 25, 2002 It's a programming language -- 6502 assembler. MAC/65 was a good and popular example of a macro assembler for the 8-bit Ataris. I did some MAC/65 back in the day... had a lot of fun doing it, too. Assembler is the lowest level language you can program for any computer (as opposed to high level languages like Basic, Action!, etc.) and is therefore the fastest and most efficient language you can program in.

bradjewell #3 Posted April 25, 2002 Assembly is very powerful, but the hardest language next to actual machine language to program. I'm actually in a class right now where I am designing a working compiler to convert a subset of C++ to assembly. It's the hardest class I've ever had.
