Software Used
* VICE Emulator on Windows - Stock Commodore 64 with 2 1541 disk drives (No REUs, No Fast loaders etc...Just a plain boring C64)
vice-emu.sourceforge.io/
* Turbo Macro Pro 1.2
style64.org/release/turbo-mac...
* SpeedScript 3.2 to keep track of my notes (COMPUTE!'s GAZETTE May 1987)
My Self-Imposed Rules:
Writing code for the c64 using only hardware and software (sort of) that would have been available "to me" on the C64 in the mid to late 1980s. Back then, I had a C64, 4 disk drives (1541,1571, 2x 1581s), and an Aprotek Minimodem-C24 (2400bps) (I ran a BBS for a few years) before I moved on to the PC platform around 1990. I did have an Epyx Fastload cartridge, but that was about it (I never had (or known of its existence) Jiffy DOS)

I haven’t even watched it yet, but I’m sure it’s just as informative as usual. Back to my 64 daze, 37 years after departing. I don’t know if I’ll ever change the C64 world, but it made, and has had a profound impact on my life. Thank you sir. Blessings
Amazing work m8! I can only imagine how good you feel (as you have stated at the end of the video). I hope you find time again for another c64 assembly project! You made it so easy to watch, managed to convey your knowledge and what you have learned and make it fun at the same time! Not an easy thing to accomplish. Thx again!
The plot code is begging for its own macro under the DRY prinicple. That was a fun series.
I had a ton of fun watching it! This was really awesome and so easy to understand! Really great jon! Now I only need a good idea to implement my first assembler program! Thanks a lot, it was really well made and helpful!
Excellent series of videos. I picked up lots of tips about TMP that I didn't previously know or use. Thank you!
Great job! Very good runthrough of TMP usage.
Wonderful series.
That's fantastic. Great work! And thanks for showing us the process.
Thanks!!!
You are very good! A small idea to complete the game without having to type the command prompt, include the command to call LM in the assembler i oken at the address Basic $801. It's a simple thing that completes the game. Hello from Luigi
Enhancements (stretch goals?) Speeds up as rounds progress. Score based on how fast each color is entered (starts at 200 and decays to 10) Make bad button show the color pressed but play the crash, then show the correct color before asking to play again Save border/bg/text colors at start of game and restore those in exit code
Authentic coding. Well done!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not easy to convince myself to finish a game idea from 1985, just for the programming challenge & finishing unfinished business. It would be difficult on a C64.
