eyes3d in Lua with TIC-80 - 2025-01-03
A simple tic-80 card in Lua, that display 3d eyes, following light or mouse, à la Xeyes 👀, but in 3d.
C64 Assembly - 2024-11-17
Tools, basic knowledge, hello world
Starting on Commodore-64, generally called C64 (MOS 6510 that is a modified version of 6502, will use 65xx here) assembly on Linux. This 8-bit microprocessor is relatively limited and simple, as Z80 microprocessor, and used on several popular platforms, including Commodore PET/VIC20, Apple][, BBC, Oric 1/Atmos/Telestrat, Atari 400/800/5200/XL/Lynx, NES and SNES or PC Engine/TurboGraphix. The power of the most interesing of these computers are in association with their audio, graphics and video co-processors.
This document, is based on the usage of generaly available and FLOSS, xa assembler, xda65 debugger and VICE emulator, on GNU/Linux platforms.
Fantasy Consoles - 2024-09-30
Fantasy consoles are 8 or 16 bits like virtual machines, with programming language and that often include tools to add graphics, audio and music. This is a funny world, and a good mean to develop an interactive or multimedia application a quick way. Limited resources, often very simple script language (like Lua as an exemple), allow to quickly prototype things, by only going toward essential things.
