geany + acme + vice + selfmade tools made with freebasic

@style:
lol! *g*

And to whomever said vi or one of its deriviates, you are masochistic! Why not code with the original CBM Screeneditor then?
I think i should code one just for such people... ;)

On of my old project was on C64 is the Prince of PErsia.

I have some old sources, and a lot of graphics.

For tile and screen editing and of course, sprite editing, I the Subchrist tools are ok(Spritepad, Charpad)
For assembling, it think Kickass with Relaunch64 is a very good choice(because i realy want to use some macro) (I think, I should save old tass code to seq and convert into ascii)
for sfx, i need new ears, because, i never did an sfx before, (and for music, i shoudl go trough the old files, or hvsc, because the soundtrack should be there. :)

maybe need some ifli converter, to contert the title screen again, because i didn't like the previous multi picture)

some bmp to sprite conversion is needed to, because a lot of gfx are found in bmp.

(and then I need a time machine, to have enough time, to do it. :)

so when i summarize them:
what i realy want,
-a good text editor with syntax highlight,
-an assembler, with macro capabilities (and start after compiling in emulator)
-char and sprite editor,
-some pc to c64 gfx converters (ifli, fli, mc, sprite, char)
-music editor
-sfx editor

there are several solutions for pretty much everything you want to do.....you should try a few things before actually start working with it.

as for assembler i personally like ca65 for its "professional" design and responsive developer. that kickass thingy looks interisting though, reminds me of rgbasm (for the gameboy) which had simelar features.
