#Atari8bit Building Eastern Front 1941 with the help of #FujiNet tschak909 2023-08-18 | This video shows the process of building The #Atari8bit game Eastern Front: 1941 (Chris Crawford, Atari/APX, 1981) source code into a complete runnable disk using the #Atari Assembler/Editor cartridge, using the #FujiNet in tandem. #retrocomputing #retrogamingThe #FujiNet is used to both produce complete listings from the assembler, as well as to store PC readable copies of the source code on my network server, which is exposing a Windows file share.Because all of the resources shown here are available via the apps.irata.online TNFS server, you can follow along with your #FujiNet, if you wish.Note: The Atari Assembler/Editor cartridge is very slow. There are lots of areas of silence while the assembly happens. I kept it in, for the sake of authenticity.Chapters:00:00 Introduction02:24 Setting up03:40 Mounting and creating the disks08:30 What is on each disk?13:00 Preparing our build and final disks14:30 Making PC readable copies of the source code22:40 Assembly: Thinking module39:14 Listing of the Thinking Module41:00 Assembly: Combat module44:30 Assembly: Data module1:24:30 Assembly: Main module1:33:30 Assembly: Interrupts module1:47:00 Doing the final load1:50:23 Doing the final save1:52:50 Testing the final artifact.AtariMania page on Eastern Front 1941 Source code:http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-eastern-front-1941-source-code_1792.htmlAtariMania page for Atari Assembler Editor cartridge:http://www.atarimania.com/utility-atari-400-800-xl-xe-assembler-editor_19777.htmlTNFS for Atari DOS 2.0apps.irata.online/Atari_8-bit/DOS/Atari DOS 2.0S.AtariTNFS for Eastern Front Source Codeapps.irata.online/Atari_8-bit/Games/Source Code/Eastern_Front_1941_Source_Code.atr
