Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

The next game I finished is called "Crazy Carson Cousins" It is the first game in which I moved out of PETSCII graphics and started using multicolor custom chars. I used CBM prg studio for this also. I adapted the output for that program so the graphics data can be used in a C program. Her...

Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

Thought I'd send an update to this post on some of the C stuff I have working on. Started on a platform game earlier in the year called Boonderoo.

Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

I always find it faster and easier to bload sprite data in rather than repoke/recompile/ressemble data statements. Originally I did repoke the data in with my code. But this essentially uses twice the memory space. So now I set my cc65 config file to place the declared sprite data in memory locatio...

Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

I know there are probably plenty of tools out there for sprites, but I decided to make my own in excel. After creating the sprite in an excel grid, it spits out data which you can paste into your c code. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxrxBhKJRIf2WU8wSmtQdUczbjg/view?usp=sharing Here is the excel ...

Re: Williamsburg Adventure 64

Sixteen plus, shops do come and go and I have never seen those shops. But I would not be surprised if they existed in the past.

Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

I decided to do another quick game before I take on something much bigger like my super mario game. I did a PETSCII centipede clone. Some have asked to see 'C' code for learning purposes so I am posting here: [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMx-HyvEKxI[/video] C Code https://drive.google.com/f...

I spent this Saturday morning tweaking the UFO game into an air sea battle game.

Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I think exploring c with c64 is worthwhile. It is a language that follows a standard and it just may be possible to write portable code for the c64 (simple tile based windows games or ones with less than 9 sprites). Like in my game loop, I call a check_collision or upda...

Re: Williamsburg Adventure 64

This is interesting since I used to live in Williamsburg. It is a tourist town now with people dressing up in period costumes. All those streets are still there. Thanks for sharing.

Re: C compiler for the C64 and other 65xx machines.

I started looking at cc65. Definitely slower than assembly but a bit faster than BASIC which is good for games. But programming timewise I think I was able to whip up something faster than basic or assembly. UFO attack .prg file (v1.1) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxrxBhKJRIf2ZVVZblNnNmRObkU/vie...
