Commander X16

For anyone with a 65816 CPU installed or anyone wanting to try this out in the emulator (V47 and higher) with the -c816 option, here is the version of the interpreter for you. This will give a bit of a boost, not a tremendous amount...maybe 15%...I forget, but every little bit helps! I haven't messe...

A few days ago I noticed Tony (AHENRY3068) talking about a program of his that he was converting from BASIC to XC=BASIC, which is a compiled BASIC. After runnning the program, which is called Mystify, I remembered that this was...an old Windows screen saver...I think. What version of Windows I don't...

In working on the test program in the previous post, I discovered....re-discovered that 'OR' was generating a syntax error. That is now fixed. Please download the new version of the compiler: V1.0.1.

He means to do a palette fade cycling the completed Mandelbrot set through the various colors. Done correctly it makes your image look animated though the only thing actually changing is the Palette registers. The QBasic Mandelbrot that came with DOS does that I believe. Okay, I think I might know ...

What do you mean by 'cycle smoothly'?

Here is another piece for using floats, should anyone actually want/need to use floats; ASCII to float conversion. The ROM routine to do this can't be used, since the compiler and or interpreter, stomps all over the zero page locations that the BASIC routine depends on. Demonstration program attache...

I'm not quite sure what section this belongs in....'Useless Apps' perhaps, but that's not a current choice. This is a re-visitation to the Mandelbrot and Julia Sets, that I have coded previously, but let's face it, 8mhz and software floating point is just too slow for casual use, even when coded in ...

I've put this off long enough! Here is version 1.0 of Pascal-iSh, a p-code Pascal compiler hosted on the Commander X16 and written in Prog8. Previous versions were posted in the WIP section and while in some sense, it is still a work in progress and probably will be for the foreseeable future, every...

Well, maybe by the time you have some time for it, I'll have a few more things figured out! My biggest gripe/frustration is when the compiler hangs, which is essentially an unhandled error/stuck in an endless loop. Typically it's stuck on a white space character after the end of a line semicolon, ex...
