Am happy to be of some use today. Any raster effect errors have to get fixed last. Don't wanna fix it with every other commit.

Fixes quite some bug in the sprite code. One has to marvel at the miracles of the Universe that it didn't feckiddup right on the spot. The path to hell is plastered with anonymous labels. Another code review it is...

I hope the latest insanity added https://github.com/SvenMichaelKlose/small-c/tree/master/growroom/bdb has an OK code style. That's a key/value database with records of variable length that get moved to a file if memory runs low. The records are indexed by a binary tree in the "file" which ...

I'm not complaining at all. It's just a pretty silly thing to say. Especially about cc65 - it's neither "bloated" nor is it excessively commented. Quite the contrary is true - It's actually lacking a lot in that area. cc65-codestyle.png That's a lot of lines for declaring an empty string ...

You're the first to complain. I promise to not touch cc65.

Did some thorough clean-ups and the code is more fun to read now. Header files have been added because no-one wants to code without forward declarations unless sitting on a stash of diet pills. https://github.com/SvenMichaelKlose/small-c/tree/master/src Looking at 'expr.c' one can spot how this can ...

Those two sprites seem to have sparked some motivation. How about some more?

[...] who wants to invest months in a game for nothing in return[?] It is somewhat unfair to come up with this argument to someone who first of all just asked about a possible port of BB You're right. I'm overly pessimistic. Perhaps make it a group effort. I'd love to see it, too. I'd start out wit...

Kay. How about you write a tiny 6502 assembler with Turbo Rascal and then ask again who wants to invest months in a game for nothing in return.

Yes. If you play it through. chatGPT, I mean.

tunix-massforks.png About to crash when out of memory with 16 processes (full address space allocated for all). It should complain and exit gracefully. Doesn't pass mixed stress tests either, so there must be an issue with memory allocation. Up to 32 processes could get squeezed in before extended ...

Nah. It's impossible to achieve on the VIC. Looking good though.

Good old Dr Dobbs Small-C! A port from a BBC version seems a good fit for the VIC20 - both 32K in normal max memory config. But what you are trying to do is ambitious. Would it also compile on a PC so it can act as a cross compiler? Back in the day, in early BYTE magazines Small-C was advertised by...

Oh dude. What a heritage tree. Makes it hard to apply a version number. One repo with all versions in it should be least one could do about it. Could just happen in a minute (minutes v1.0). The BBC thing seems to have very, very useful additions that are dearly missing in the VIC version. * Separate...

You could just port the atari version (which later became cc65) :) News to me. Also just found David Wheeler's 6502 language page which has "news". https://dwheeler.com/6502/ But take a look at this: small-cir2txt.png The tiny C fragment got compiled to byte code at the bottom which the '...
