Flappy bird for the 6502 microprocessor 🐦
- Node
- NPM
- Homebrew (if using Mac)
- Chocolatey (if using Windows)
HEADS UP WINDOWS USERS: I'm using Hyper terminal, so if you are using a different commandline prompt - I cannot guarantee that all of the
npm scriptswill work (although they might)
Firstly, clone the and configure it for tracking repo:
git clone https://github.com/bberak/6502-kit.git [new-project]
cd [new-project]
rm -rf .git # Windows: rmdir /S .git
git init
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/[you]/[new-project].git
git push -u origin master
Then, install prerequisites:
npm install
This project will make the following tools available via the npm scripts (for MacOS and Windows):
You can read more about the functionality of each tool below.
Build assembly files with:
npm run acme src/file.asm
Defaults to using
65c02instruction set. Modify theacmescripts in thepackage.jsonto change this.
By convention, .asm files should indicate their output paths using a macro at the top of the file:
!to "build/file.prg"
After assembling is complete, you can run your program on the vice emulator using:
npm run vice build/file.prg
You will most likely need to change the assembly instruction set to
6510see above.
To write your program to a ROM chip, plug your universal programmer into a spare USB port, then run:
npm run minipro build/file.prg
Works with the
MiniPRO TL866xxseries of chip programmers (make sure it is plugged in)
By default, is setup to write to the
AT28C256rom chip. Modify theminiproscripts in thepackage.jsonto change this.
To add syntax highlighting to your .asm files - use the Kick Assembler Sumlime package
