It was created by Clinton Parker, who had previously developed the Micro SPL language with Henry Baker, and released on cartridge by Optimized Systems Software in 1983. Action! was used to develop at least two commercial products—the Homepak productivity suite and Games Computers Play client program—and numerous programs in ANALOG Computing and Antic magazines. The language was never ported to other systems.The Action! language syntax is similar to that of ALGOL 68. Constructs were designed to map cleanly to 6502 opcodes, to provide the high performance necessary for game and graphics demos without needing complex optimizations in the compiler. Unlike the integrated Atari BASIC and Atari Assembler Editor environments, the Action! editor is full-screen, so it does not use line numbers. Action! is a one-pass compiler, which compiles the source code entirely in memory or from a file. This allows great speed, but limits the amount of code that may be compiled.The library routines used by Action! programs are stored in the cartridge itself. To distribute standalone applications requires a separate run-time package. A development library was sold by OSS as a separate product called the Action! Toolkit.The 6502 assembly language source code for Action! was made available under the GNU General Public License by the author in 2015."@en }
