Prog8 language and compiler topic
The whole procedureal generation is the real secret sauce in Elite ... besides the unparalleled graphics of that time. Also need to correct - the Seed is 6 bytes = 3 words. Start reading here: Sub TT20 and Sub TT54 gives you more or less the whole picture. TT24 is then calculating the real system ...

"Hello, World!" with cc65
I do not see any reason why I should need to build for X16 on Linux if I am Using. The whole Toolchain exists on Windows. If you want to use Linux - that is great and everything works there. But if you want to use Windows then WSL is just something to enable you to run Linux - which was not the ide...

Just not related to prog8 but to Elite. You may want to lookup how the 256 planets worked in Elite. (check the source code I linked) It has a very good writeup how that works. In short: You have a pseudo random generator that is seeded by the galaxy seed (4 bytes). This seed is then taken through i...

My First Steps with the X16: Questions and goals!
That is a good approach. Just wanted to make you aware of the fact of limitations of the Architecture in regards of high languages. Where the Amiga was optimal to use for C the C64 never was and the X16 compensates a bit by processor speed with factor of 8 but has the same limitations. The compiled...

My First Steps with the X16: Questions and goals!
Be aware that C is not a good language for the C64/X16/6502 in general. It is very heavy on all the calls and context switches, where the 6502 is not very good at. The stack is also only 8 bit and only 256 bytes in total and cannot get extended. So you need to create a software stack (which is exac...
