    Ci sar脿 un altro C/64?

    Ho posseduto sia un Vic20 ed un C/64, come molti della mia generazione, credo. Il Commore 64 猫 stato un micro computer commercializzato tra il 1982聽e il聽1994, dalla Commodore Business Machine (CBM). Il vero salto di qualit脿 con il C/64 me lo fece fare un rivista scovata in un Autogril, chiamata Commodore Computer Club, che parlava praticamente solo del C/64 e aveva una forte connotazione “social”, nel senso che la rubrica della posta era inizialmente molto grande.

    When I was young I was able to play with my Vic20/Commodore64. I learned to love programming with these small 8-bit real computers. I was between 11 and 12 years old, and just learning basic English, with only a data-casette to store my stuff.

    Ok this is a bit embarassing!

    Even in 2019, there is a IDE for C/64 which is still mantained! C64 Studio is a full .NET IDE which can connect to [Win]Vice for debugging.

    It seems Deutsche guys are very strong on C/64 Developmenet on these days….

    Michael Steil just published a repository you can actually USE to hack C64 Kernal and ROM. A nice idea you can play with using VICE emulator…

    Some time ago I mentioned the Pyc64 project, a “differently emulated” C/64. There’s a much more ambitious project that’s going under pressure, it’s called Commander X 16. Commander X 16 has been started by David Murray and three other guys.

    Tempo fa ho citato il progetto Pyc64, un C/64 “diversamente emulato”. Esiste un progetto molto pi霉 ambizioso che sta andando in pressione, si chiama Commander X 16, ed 猫 partito da David Murray e da altre tre persone.

    Il desiderio di David era quello di creare un computer a 8bit simile al C/64 ma un po’ pi霉 comodo da usare: per esempio con 80 colonne, ma non con troppa potenza di calcolo, in modo da non snaturare la sua natura “retr貌”.

    Anche io avevo un desiderio simile ed ero approdato al Pyc64 che univa il meglio del python ad una emulazione degli sprite e ad un minimo di possibilit脿 di scrivere codice in linguaggio macchina. Ma ovviamente era tutto fatto via software, non c’era una macchina reale, ed inoltre aveva parecchi limiti.
