Atari 8-bit
We haven't built this one yet — and we're not going to pretend otherwise. There are no lessons here today. What there is: the plan, a clear sense of where it sits, and a standing invitation to help bring it forward.
The honest bit
This isn't a dead end. The page is real — there's just no curriculum on it yet.
The plan, when we get here
1 Not started
Port the methodology
Prove the Spectrum approach generalises to this machine's CPU and display. This is the gate — everything else waits on it.
2 Queued
A gateway track
The gentlest on-ramp the machine allows — fundamentals first, building real things from the very first lesson.
3 Queued
Assembly flagship
The real prize: a complete game on the metal, at the same commercial bar as Shadowkeep on the Spectrum.
