want to code
OK dudes... I need to start coding. I am in the need to get up and running... I am a fool and an idiot but I know a lot about the c64 and I know how to but not in code. I need someone who can guide me to start to be a coder, that said it is not like I want to be feed with links... I want to start coding with you as a guide and my mentor!
My dream: is there someone who can put aside one hour a day or second day with me and that know how to make me understand the basics so that I can expand on my own? I know nothing in commands and such as of start we can assume.
I know it might sound stupid but are there anyone out there who could do this? with me?
I can pay back with logos, graphics, part ideas and such...

or in other words: if you are a beginner, writing a tutorial about something you are just learning to do is a very good idea. however, if you are a beginner, reading a tutorial written by someone who was just learning the subject he is writing about is a quite bad idea - and thats why you pick the butterfield book instead. |

well said. I borrowed it for quite a while from Rotor and that's when I really started to learn ML.
I got this other book (in dutch) by P.Holmes/D.Busch, but that one sucks ass. Only really used the reference guide from it (which sucked too, but all I had).
I also skimmed through TMR's and Puterman's, both good tutorials. Might be nice to start with Butterfield, but as soon as you want to speed up the process and get some visual/audible result, try their's for a change.
And then, back to Butterfield ;) |

Quoting Burglar
I also skimmed through TMR's and Puterman's, both good tutorials.
I also skimmed them, they may be alright, but not without faults:
"Now, there are 318 raster lines on a PAL machine..." (from Introduction to Programming C-64 Demos)
"Since the value we put into $D012 gets cleaned out when the interrupt is triggered..." (from The Hex Files)
Online tutorials is a good option at best, a much better way is reading real books, they contain so much more information. I would suggest Programming The Commodore 64, by Raeto Colin West. |
