How easy would it be to write games on this that use the joy stick, and what are the compiler options? BASIC interpreter, C compiler, Pascal compiler, Assembly?

- biggieshellz 9y agoC64 BASIC is pretty terrible -- to do anything with graphics or sound, you really have to use PEEK/POKE and do it in 6502 assembly. Aside from that, 6502 assembly is your best bet. There are lots of tutorials online for the C64 specifically, and there are good cross-assembler toolchains available.
- throwaway7645 9y agoSounds fun, but kind of a pain. I've been meaning to write a Forth...sounds like a good project.
- jerf 9y agoIt is definitely doable: https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Forth https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Forth
