Mission Moon

Juego que en su version ATR es un ejecutable desde Adventure Writer, pero Homesoft lo paso a .xex sin dejarlo en formato estandar de AdW (el .PRG es un xex!)

Extrañamente el ATR tiene un mensaje que el juego fue hecho en Action! (quizas el loader?)

En fin, un juego nuevo encontrado hecho en AdW.

R.O.T.O.

Otro clone de la revista Analog con codigo fuente (Action!).

Existe un remake (source code port) en Mad Pascal.

Superhop ACTION!

In May, 1987, Antic published my fractal generating program, Dot Hopper. That program used floating point arithmetic and was written in BASIC. Consequently, it was quite slow.

ADVAN COMPILER BASIC
http://www.atarimagazines.com/v4n12/Compiler.html
Advan BASIC is filled with shortcuts like this. By the way, it ran my version of the Sieve of Eratosthenes in 13.8 seconds. The MMG compiler took 9 seconds, BASIC XL took 67 seconds and Atari BASIC hasn't finished yet. If that isn't fast enough, you can rewrite key routines in assembly language from within BASIC. Advan BASIC recognizes assembler mnemonics almost as if they were BASIC keywords. Not only is this great for people who know assembly language, but it can be a teriffic learning environment too.

ADVAN OPTIMIZER
http://www.atarimagazines.com/v6n2/BASICBonanza.html
Advan BASIC was already pretty fast. Now it's the fastest BASIC in Atari history. In our Sieve Benchmark, the Advan Optimizing Compiler is about four times faster than the MMG Compiler, six times faster than regular Advan, 20 times faster than compiled Turbo-BASIC XL and 120 times faster than uncompiled Atari BASIC. In fact, it's more than half the speed of ACTION!- that's getting real close to pure assembly language.

-->KYAN PASCAL
http://www.atarimagazines.com/v4n7/kyanpascal.html
The resulting object file has a very rapid run-time. Ten iterations of the Eratosthenes Prime Number Sieve (see "First ST Performance Test," Antic, October 1985) ran in about 120 seconds with the screen on. With the screen off, the same program ran in just 80 seconds.
