Hello / Bonjour

Hello,

I'm from Paris in France, i'm 30 years old. Last year, I bought an Atari 520 STf like my father owned in the past. I remember the TOS Desktop on my father's screen, I was 4-5 years old.
And then several years after, I became a software developer. Now, I would like to develop software for Atari ST.
I don't really know about the limitations of Atari ST but I had some ideas of projects.

1- simple text editor (to get some basics with 68k assembly)
2- a small game (to get familiar with image rendering & I/O)
3- IDE (like Sublime or VSCode but simplier of course to use AES)

I don't know if any of these projects will be finished or not but I like the idea to develop and maybe publish a new software/game for an old machine.

Recently, I had some problems with my PSU on my newly acquired Atari 1024 STe and I came to this forum.
Finally, I ordered a new PSU from Exxos' store. It was really easy to change (i kept my old switch, sorry exxos :) )

Thank you Exxos for your work !

:welcomewave: We can always do with more developers for the ST especially with all the new hardware being developed and being able to code to tap into its potential.

Great to see more developers getting interested in retro programming! I'm looking forward to seeing what you create - and which tools you decide to use.
