  1. Getting back into #C64 stuff, I am reminded that I purchased #VisionBasic (now at version 1.1.2). It's a #BASIC compiler that runs on the C64 itself (with RAM expansion), that compiles code to something much closer to machine language speed. It allows inline asm, so it's as fast as you need it to be. It actually comes with commands for controlling audio, sprites, joysticks and more.

    tldr; It's a C64 BASIC you can actually write an action game in.

  3. Check out the 2023 game making contest for #VisionBASIC by Dennis Osborn.

    He's even offering a discount for VB for those interested but haven't got it yet.

    For those who don't know it, I think of VisionBASIC as the C64's equivalent of AMOS for Amiga.

  5. #VisionBASIC for the #c64 is finally a reality! Been excited for this for a while and it's shipped, but also just got to download the digital version to play with.
    But it's 9am and I have to wait until the end of the day. 😭

    Luckily it's the weekend soon, so I'll have a play and get some videos up of what it's like. Going to work on converting Dungeon Dash to it.
