Berzek for C64

Hello... I recently recieved assembler source code for Berzerk video game. I was told that I would have to use CCS65 to compile it. However, I am quickly realizing that I have no idea how to do this in CCS65. Can some one help me our compile this for me with CCS65 if I sent the source code? All help is appreciated, I'd love to get a port of this classic on the C64.

Any progress on this or is it at an impasse? You guys haven't posted in a while so I thought that I would ask...

I understand... I am just excited that Berzerk for C64 will finally come to fruition... I might even make a bootleg cart version when the code is finished, if its 16k or less in size when compiled, so that it fits on a standard cart rom(s) without complicated bank switching... If not a disk version will still be much appreciated by all I am sure...

at the moment I am thinking about how to handle the softsprites in a good way...

but it is not so complicated...

ABC
XYZ

so... actually I might come away with reorganising the sprite data to a c64 way so not vertical slices but in c64 bitmap mode way.

unfortunatly the code in Berzerk is bad written so it does not use preshifted data which I could reorganise. So I am trying to get to know where the x,y positions of the robots are stored so I can write my own soft sprite routine instead of patching the existing one...

allright...small progress in code analysis.

0870,0880 are pointers to sprite adresses. they point to

07a0,07a1 ff. which hold in lo,hi,lo,hi the start adress in video ram of each robot... so when starting the game you find exact 11*2 adresses in the array which point into the video ram. and there are 11 robots at the beginning.

$9991 is the "random routine" while $1804 holds the random number. maybe I will hunt now the $1804 and see where it is used to store the positions at the beginning of each room.

$83e0 ff. sets the random positions for each robot
$04-$8c xp position)

ok...got more and more regarding the robots... $850,$860 are holding xpos, ypos in pixel positions. so we will never see more than 16 robots on screen.

so further I found the init of the first robot on the main screen. so actuall this helps to determinate the other variables.
