My First Publication

This is my first published computer program. It was October 1988, XXth century. The program was created for an ancient machine called Atari 65XE. It was an 8-bit wonder. I spent countless hours playing with LDAs and STAs (those who know assembly language know what I'm talking about) and of course playing great Atari 8-bit games.

Oh yes, this is the source code of my small application that generates colorful waves:

....PHA
....TXA
....PHA
....LDX #0
J1: STA 54282 ;WSYNC
....STX 53272 ;COLPF2
....INX
....INX
....BNE J1
....PLA
....TAX
....PLA
....RTI

Did you get it? PLA-PLA-PLIM-PLUM-PLAM
Yey!
Atari ROCKS!
