That's an interesting thread for me. I want to try some tools.
If I am talking about PC then I prefer CCS64, but Vice is great too anyways (I just thought it was slow or had problems with sound at older times, but perhaps it was my old computer). And then I have used Star Commander. Perhaps I should try that cross developing tool mentioned here. I hope it's easy to start..
For gfx I have just tried Zoomatic once, but painting a picture was hard enough for me anyways (except from logos and fonts which I should try perhaps). I almost forgot many of the key combinations. It's a bit wicked to get used with the tiled color logic of C64 and key combinations. I almost did it but then forgot. Wondering if there are other gfx tools out there which might make C64 painting handier.
I haven't tried to track anything. For code I have only tried TASM and I like it very much. With Save/Load snapshots on the emulator it's handy. I really don't know how it would be to code assembly on the real C64. I don't have an action replay, so perhaps I'd have to reload the assembler numerous of times if a crash/bugs happens and C64 disk loading takes a lot. (I am already fed up with this on the CPC and only code in the assembler of Winape32 emulator)
I am interesting for gfx. Suggest me tools that might be easier to use. (I don't care about drawing with mouse or joystick/keys. I was always drawing with the keyboard on the CPC, so it's fine for me. I only care that I don't have to remember numerous of key combinations) |

Quote: I collected all mine (except for amica paint v1.8 enhanced by sky/mdg) on lovetools. Also, I don't think that Oliver Stiller can be called a scener at the time he did amica paint.
Oliver Stiller did some other tools. He produced (as previous post) the Masters Design Group packer, Amica Paint (a few versions I think) and also the 3D Message Maker. :) |

What's this Furz-Editor? Is it sound related? Where can I find it? |

For Bitmap images i used to use Vidcom64. Later on i switched to Facepainter :)
I`ve also had fun with Blackmail`s HISP editor (8 hires sprites overlaid).
Face noter is another cool one and T.A.T`s Dir edit ;)
