Code, how to get started?

An old friend of mine who coded a little in 85-86 was thinking about coding on the c64 again. He was wondering what he needs to get started and began to mumble something about some reference guide. He also wonder what assembler he should use. He will be using VICE. Thanks for heelping out guys.

no actual c64 available?

perhaps programming on pc is more comfortable but on c64 it's more fun!


That depends.
For me fun in programming is in developing code, not in wasting time on compiling, loading and saving.
Using Vice saves most of that.

It's good we can choose our ways :)

Big surprise I got when starting to code again in 2003.
Always used my Powercartridge Monitor so I used it again.
Transfered the code to PC,attached the Power.crt to Vice,and CRASH!

Damn Vice uses $8000-$9... for the .CRT when $01=Default. 8(
Now I code at different locations,but I miss my $90E7!! 8(
Maybe I´ve missed something in the manual and this can be changed?
Wouldn´t be the first time.. ;)

If you use WinVICE why not used the included one?

Personal I better to code on the real c64 with TFC3 or simular.

I used to code with FC3 + TASM. But nowadays I either use TFR + TASM or TFR + codenet + crossasm.

I hardly use an emulator for running the code, but the code is still written on PC most of the time. TASM cannot compete with a modern text editor and the powerful linking features a good cross assembler offers.

I don´t think the Vice Monitor is that userfriendly. ;)

Back in the 90's there wasn't any VIC Article or such. One just put Ice Cream Castle in the drive. With a 'freezer cartridge' equipped c64, EVERYTHING was there. It WAS the VIC Bible for me and probably many other coders. :)
