Hallo Welt! — Hello World, in German — is the expression programmers traditionally use to name the first exercise written when learning a new language or platform: displaying a simple message on screen to confirm the development environment works correctly. This piece fits exactly that profile within the Atari programming scene, without constituting a game in any conventional sense. Its value is purely didactic and historical: it documents the first, almost ritual step of someone starting out in programming for one of the systems in the Atari family.
