IIRC, there is even a plasma-effect, coded in C, in the Examples.
My Advice in setting up: Get rid of Internet Explorer and Windows.

i think before coding anything you should first learn how to use a c64 at all. |

if you mean you would like to code demo or kinda like that using cc65 you're out of luck. as far as I know (for short time I was keen on cc65 including hunting for bugs and preparing one-file cool installer for win32) the only examples are those shipped with cc65 package + few ones outside. they're not big thingies, however compiled program are rather slow and big. If I have written something useflu using (And I'll find it :P ) I can send you effort of my work. |

seriously, forget about C-programming on c64. the only thing you'll be able to do is some tools with lame performance. for anything else you will need assembler. |

one useful thing made with cc65 is cvote by magervalp

but really, to begin to hack around in asm is a much better choise if you want to start coding on c64 |
