Re: Small-C running on the VIC – here's how

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 ...

Re: ASM502 - a new 6502 assembler.. (WIP)

Here is the binary for the C64 version of ASM502. asm502-114-c64.zip extract this and run asm502-114-c64.prg on your c64 emulator. When you run (with no command line obviously) ASM502 asks for the Source file - type ASMIN.S, then leave Dest file blank. It will run through and generate the listing fi...

Re: ASM502 - a new 6502 assembler.. (WIP)

I would love if someone made a small assembler like ASM502 for the ARM, targeting the pi, android, Arduino, blue pill etc, so you didn't have to run an SDK full of bugs taking a gigabyte or more.. Just build GAS for ARM? For all those modern CPUs it really doesn't make a lot of sense to make a cust...

Re: ASM502 - a new 6502 assembler.. (WIP)

Thanks for the comments. As for Indentation in asm502.c - change tab width to 8 and it should look ok. I should just convert tabs to spaces. Yes it needs tidying, although I try and use a kind of C++ structures in C by adding short class-style prefixes to var/proc names, ie: var_ for variable code, ...

ASM502 - a new 6502 assembler.. (WIP)

ASM502 -------- ASM502 is a 6502 assembler written in C99-compliant C code. It is small and light, and yet implements a useful subset of CA65 functionality. asm502-115a.zip I can hear everyone shout "we dont need another 6502 assembler", and they are probably right! In defence ASM502 has a...

Re: FREAX (and some other new bits)

Well, that's certainly fast, smooth and playable :) If you just add SFX and a mothership, it would already be one of the top Space Invaders clones on the Vic. But as there already are some great Invaders clones for the Vic, why not add more of your own little twists to the formula? There is potenti...
