I’m making a game for the Atari 2600! In this first video I do my gosh darn best to explain I know nothing.

This video features my very first animated sprite made with bAtari Basic (it's a bat, I tell you!). 

I learned how to do this from this ‪8bitsinthebasement‬ tutorial.

I'm learning bAtari Basic, and have a swiss-cheese understanding so far, so feel free to share your more accurate knowledge in the comments below…
