c64

Repository for learning 650x series assembly on the Commodore 64

Development Environment

• Install VICE
• Clone c64-devkit
• Symlink c64-devkit/emulator/linux/x64 to /usr/local/bin/x64
• Run make in c64-devkit/ to compile and automatically run main.asm in source/
• Because compilation is slightly involved, binaries are included in the git repo if you want to try them out.

BASIC

If VICE was installed via Flatpak, the petcat utility will need to be added to the $PATH. For example:

export PATH=/home/user/.local/share/flatpak/app/net.sf.VICE/x86_64/stable/4c117578e052173641b405b7323c22cb2af87fe233a3c329417334ee02e7367d/files/bin:$PATH
