![]() ![]() Using an IRQ loader has never been easier than today. Tip: using packers has never been easier than now, thanks to a Kick Assembler plugin. Packing your data is also a piece of cake with these tools: There are some handy disassemblers as well: Users of Kick Assembler can generate the breakpoint file on compile time with the help of a simple macro. Other complete development bundles you might try:įor debugging you can use the built-in monitor in the VICE emulator, and set breakpoints vi an input file. VICE Tip: use the setting inject to ram (Settings/Autostart settings/PRG autostart mode) to instantly start your program without having to wait for it to load. (I wasn’t super active over these 4 years, but am playing around with 6510 coding regularly since) In case you have ever coded for the c64 you HAVE TO TRY THIS, this is what brought me back four years ago. This combo gives you a syntax highlighted editor with a one-click build/execute/debug in VICE, combined with the incredible Kick Assembler. I suggest using the Sublime text (text editor), Kick Assembler (cross-assembler), VICE (c64 emulator) development combo put together by Swoffa/Noice. And a lot of free time, which you may now have. You will need a Windows, Linux, or Mac PC, a cross compiler, an emulator, and a text editor of some kind. This article is for people like me having nostalgic fun in a sort of modern way. There will of course be hardcore enthusiasts who will not agree, clinging on to working on the real hardware as they have in the past. Using modern computers with cross-platform tools for development is very convenient. Have you ever thought of returning? There is no better time than now, as you’re probably sitting at home, due to COVID-19 lockdown.ĭevelopment today is a lot easier than it was in the eighties. It’s time to show that you’re still the coder, musician, graphican who you used to be. My intention with this article is to get YOU (the c64 enthusiast) active again. More and more folks (including myself) are returning to code, write music, and pixel graphics for this vintage instrument. Hobby software development for the Commodore 64 is regaining its popularity. ![]()
