CBM prg Studio v2.5.0 released

August 20th, 2012 No comments

CBM prg Studio Version 2.5.0 is released. There are a lot of new features in this version. I’d really appreciate it if you report any bugs you find or have any suggestions/comments.

CBM prg Studio allows you to type a BASIC or Machine Code program in using a nice Windows environment and convert it to a ‘.prg’ file which you can run on an emulator, or even a real C64 / VIC20 or PET if you’re feeling brave and have the right kit.

CBM prg Studio is the result of merging C64PrgGen and VIC20PrgGen. Adding new features and fixing bugs in two apps which were 95% similar was a bit of a nightmare so merging them made sense.

It was also a good opportunity for a face lift and to add some new features, such as:

  • Programs are project based, meaning all related source files, sprite files etc. are kept in one place and multiple source files can be linked more easily.
  • Tabbed MDI.
  • Syntax highlighting.

What CBM prg Studio isn’t is a front-end for tok64, cbmcnvrt, bastext or any other tokeniser / detokeniser / assembler. It’s all been written completely from scratch.

Major new features:

  • Addition of PET 2001/4000/9000 computers.
  • Addition of VDC mode for the C128′s screen designer.

Bugs fixed:

  • Screen designer clear screen function.
  • Basic program auto-complete not working if assembly source in same project.
  • New Project wizard occasionally create wrong project type.
  • Some screen editor undo/redo issues.
  • Truncate the paste buffer in screen designer.
  • RESTORE keyword not being renumbered.
  • Occasional problems when closing edit windows.
  • Crash when the output window is closed and a source file has breakpoints.
  • ‘ifdef’ directive not recognised.

durexForth v1.2 (Forth language for Commodore 64)

August 9th, 2012 No comments

Forth, the Language.

Forth is a different language. It’s aged and a little weird.
What’s cool about it? It’s a very low-level and minimal language without any automatic memory management. At the same time, it easily scales to become a very high-level and domain-specific language, much like Lisp. Compared to C64 Basic, Forth is more attractive in almost every way.

It is a lot more fast, memory effective and powerful. Compared to C, specifically cc65, the story is a little different. It’s hard to make a fair comparison. Theoretically Forth code can be very memory efficient, and it’s possible to make Forth code that is leaner than C code. But it is also true that cc65 code is generally much faster than Forth code.
