This thread is for people to share programs they have made on the C64, or to offer help and suggestions for beginners (like me).



This is the result of fooling around with BASIC for a night: My first program ever.
Link for embarassingly simple code/explanation: http://vimeo.com/11416846



Anyone have suggestions for neat things to try, or future projects? Maybe I will expand this pointless program.
Can anyone recommend a book on assembly? I would like to try programming something for the DMG eventually, and I'll need to know assembly for that as well. A while ago I read a book on C for programming beginners and I understood it, although I haven't tried to make anything in it yet.

haha, pretty cool!

here's a great resource for C64 books, all scanned to PDFs. some awesome ASM books in there, as well as a ton of others...

also, as for the DMG, i think i read that both Johan and Oliver use a C compiler for coding?

I guess I should record my old C128 programs
Good idea Awol!

Thanks to cross-development being so easy nowadays, you can do this for almost any platform provided there's a compiler for it. you can also code C for the C64 through cross-dev. Of course, you would get better performance through ASM, and many times you have to put inline asm on teh C layer, but...

I need to get my Easy1541 cable going so I can back up my old disks.

Some of my c64 stuff:

"In a Loop" 1k demo:


"Type Mismatch" 1k demo:

"Bad Scene Poets are back" fullsize demo:

I uploaded some of my old c64 driver sources here:

I've probably still got the intro ones somewhere.

Great demos!  I'm having a small demoparty for my upcoming 21st birthday (I know, I'm so cool) so I'll post anything that gets made (most of the attendees are programmers but have no experience with demos, so we'll see what happens).

We'll be using an Atari ST, a Hydra platform, and an NES.  Among other things.

Nice sound! And yeah, I've enjoyed your demos, 4mat.

This was my first program for the C64: http://joysynth.mixtape.be/
Then I made this lo-fi VJ thing: http://vicficken.mixtape.be/
... and the corresponding demo: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=81864
an my latest public thing was this greetings demo: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=83332
