Tried "vibe coding" (aka endless prompting) with ChatGPT to generate #AtariBASIC programs. Spoiler: it was a delightful, yet exasperating, journey through syntax errors and misplaced semicolons! 😂 If you think LLMs can just whip up any old code. www.pinemartinpost.uk/blog/the-pec...

Your #AtariBASIC tip of the day.

Numbers in AtariBASIC are always 6 byte floats! But you can use strings to store integer data and access it with PEEK and POKE.

Strings can also be cleverly manipulated to manipulate memory and even draw player-missile graphics.

I took a day off for nostalgia to add colorized listings to the #Atari BASIC thing. I'm using the AtariBASIC source code (annotated with pseudo-code) to inform the tokenizer. The most important component I need to implement is the little VM that applies the B.N.F. to each statement. #CodingLanguage

In celebration of the 50th birthday of the 6502 here is a cleaned up and repaired Atari BASIC source based on the original "Atari BASIC Source Book" by Bill Wilkinson, Kathleen O'Brien, and Paul Laughton. Uses `make` with `ca65`.
