Atari 2600 Game

I have always wanted to make a game for the 2600. The constraints and simplicity of the system make for a challenging (but fun) environment for making games.

I also recognize that, since my degree is in statistics rather than computer science, I might need to prove to - likely whoever is reading this - that I have some low-level programming ability and an understanding of disassembly output. This project is meant to be that evidence; I would love to talk about my experience thus far with any enquirers. And, soon I will have a playable game for Atari 2600 emulators, or the physical machine if you have one.

I will be splitting my time between this and the Star Wars project, so that I have more to show there as well.
