DOOD! I just got Basic Programming with 2 keyboard controllers and its manual off of ebay for $30!
I ran it on my Atari and tested out some sample programs...
I also attempted to make my own programs...
It is hard!
Does anybody know about or have any source code i can type into Basic Programming?

Atari Basic
I had a crippled version of this. I only had ONE keypad controller.
I have a huge favor. Could you scan the overlays to the keypads and email them to me?????
I used to code in this. I had to swap the keypad from port to port (1 player to 2 player), to program it. Very taxing on the hands after awhile.
It's kinda hard to make something worth doing in Atari Stella Basic. I recommend using the fat blob pixel objects and trying to Pong it out, or something text based. I think it has ""PRINT.. doesn't it?

ATARI!
ill try to send them to you if asap, you actually might also find them online by google image search.
I have made 2 programs in this basic so far...
i have a limit of like 60 characters and 11 lines because of memory so it is hard....
here is a calculator i made:
1 CLEAR
2 A(STORE)KEY IF KEY=0 THEN GOTO 2
3 B(STORE)KEY IF KEY=0 THEN GOTO 3
4 PRINT A+B,A-B,A*B,A/B
I also made a mini 2 player racing game =]>
It is just so cool to say that I can program the atari 2600....
even if what i can do is limited =/
