Tunesmith atari program software#

Music Ītari's Music Composer cartridge (1979), the first music composition software for the Atari 8-bit family, was later joined by Advanced MusicSystem from the Atari Program Exchange (1982), Music Construction Set (1983), and Bank Street Music Writer (1985). Cartoonist (Atari Program Exchange, 1983), by Bryan Talbot, is designed for drawing animated sequences.

Tunesmith atari program movie#

Movie Maker, originally from Reston Publishing then later Electronic Arts, allows creating full-screen animations with synchronized audio that can be saved in a standalone playback format. Other graphics editors are Drawit ( Atari Program Exchange, 1983) and RAMbrandt ( Antic Software, 1985). Graphics Magician (1984), from Penguin Software, is a bitmap drawing program which was used to create images for commercial graphic adventures. Video Easel is an art generation and drawing program released on cartridge by Atari, Inc. Antic compared seven word processors in the February 1987 issue of the magazine. Two integrated software packages that include word processing are HomePak and Mini Office II. Cut & Paste from Electronic Arts and Homeword from Sierra On-Line were designed to be simpler to use than other programs. Third party options include PaperClip, Letter Perfect, Word Magic, Superscript, Bank Street Writer, COMPUTE! magazine's type-in SpeedScript, The Writer's Tool cartridge from OSS, Muse Software's Super-Text, KISS, Wordman, and relative latecomer The First XLEnt Word Processor in 1986. published the Atari Word Processor in 1981, followed by the more popular AtariWriter cartridge in 1983. Applications See Category:Atari 8-bit family software. Other Atari 8-bit family languages include Extended WSFN and Inter-LISP/65.

published the highly regarded Atari Logo as well as Atari PILOT, both on cartridge. It was sold through the Atari Program Exchange.Ītari, Inc. The language is designed for quick compile times and to generate efficient 6502 machine code.ĭeep Blue C is a port of Ron Cain's Small-C compiler. Other Īction! is an ALGOL 68-like procedural programming language on cartridge with an integrated compiler and full-screen text editor. The animated in-store demo to promote the 400/800 line was written with Atari's internal 'Coin-Op Forth' implementation. Later options were Draper Pascal and Kyan Pascal.Ītari 8-bit Forths include fig-Forth, Extended fig-Forth (Atari Program Exchange), ES-Forth, QS Forth, and ValFORTH. Pascal Ītari's own Atari Pascal requires two disk drives and was relegated to the Atari Program Exchange instead of the official product line.

Tunesmith atari program code#

In 1984, ANALOG Computing published Minicomp, a compiler that generates machine code from a very limited subset of Atari BASIC statements. The freeware Turbo-BASIC XL compiler, released in 1985, was popular in the later years of the Atari 8-bit line. Commercial BASIC compilers for Atari BASIC were available: ABC (Monarch Data Systems, 1982), MMG BASIC Compiler (1984), Advan BASIC (1985).

Tunesmith atari program series#

Optimized Systems Software created a series of enhanced BASIC interpreters: BASIC A+, BASIC XL, BASIC XE. It also sold Atari Microsoft BASIC on disk. BASIC Ītari shipped Atari BASIC with all their machines either as a cartridge or in ROM. Atari magazine ANALOG Computing published the machine language monitor H:BUG as a type-in listing, followed by BBK Monitor.

A reduced version is included in the cartridge version of MAC/65. MAC/65 tokenizes lines of code as they are entered and has much faster assembly times than Atari's products.ĭunion's Debugging Tool (or DDT) by Jim Dunion is a machine language debugger originally sold through the Atari Program Exchange. It followed that with MAC/65 first on disk with BUG/65 as a companion product, then as a 16KB bank-switched cartridge. Optimized Systems Software published an enhanced disk-based assembler mimicking the structure of Atari's Assembler Editor as EASMD (Editor/Assembler/Debug). Third-party assemblers include SynAssembler from Synapse Software and MAE (Macro Assembler Editor) from Eastern House. The professionally targeted Atari Macro Assembler shipped at a higher price on a copy protected disk without editor or debugger. The Atari Assembler Editor cartridge is a friendlier, integrated development environment using line numbers for editing source code similar to Atari BASIC. Programming languages Assembly language Ītari, Inc. After APX folded, many titles were picked up by Antic Software. Atari also distributed software through the Atari Program Exchange from 1981 to 1984. (then Atari Corporation starting in mid-1984) and third parties.

Many pieces of software were available for the Atari 8-bit family of home computers (the 400/800, XL, and XE series). Atari's packaging style from the 400/800 era
