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...

Quote:One good idea as what may have been mentioned before is to have a check at the beginning of a demo on whether there is thst issue with corruption
not very useful, since the whole thing also depends on temperature.

And regarding that part in demolicious. Each byte is compressed to a 16th of a single bit :-). Was meant as a techy showcase. For more quality listen fto 8bit passion :-) |

Its useful still. When non corrupt bytes are detected it can continue with thhe vsp. I have never heard of a machine that power cycles to a vsp stsble srate that crashes after |

Groepaz is right, a VSP is not beginners stuff. I don't know who you picked as mentor, but ask him to make a list with small tasks and ask him to help you when you get stuck. Something like:
1. Play some music without an interrupt
2. Play some music with an interrupt
2. Make a scrolltext
3. Make a rasterbar
4. ...
Even though a VSP doesn't require many lines of code, you got to have some knowlegde of the basic concepts, to have a chance of figuring out whats going on.

What Slammer said. There's a reason demos/intros looked like they did in the 80's. Everyone were beginners. Doing oldskool effects is a great way to get started.
And might I add:
4. Play around with sprites. A fast and easy way to get something moving on the screen with a few instructions. |

I have a plan for a part and it will be with vsp... it is not the safe one but based on cruizers... and I will alter it to move even more in mysterious ways.... I love this... I must manage and in the end stand tall above normal, abnormal! |

Vsp is norhing but a few d011 writes and delay and write just the method of plotting data is different. Would recommend softscroll whenever possible |
