Hi from Clayton, NC

Post by steev »

I got may Commander X16 a few weeks ago. I've always wanted a Commodore 64 when I was growing up but instead my dad got us a ZX-80, a Timex 1000(ZX-81) and then an IBM PC 5150 instead. So as I've been tinkering around with this, I'm really feeling the old school computer goodness. And yet it's modern hardware!! I look forward to making some games with this in my spare time. I need to find a really good c compiler for this because I really don't want to deal with assembly code. I also need to find a good, small case for it too.

Welcome.
I think most people who write in C for the Commander X16 are using cc65
https://cc65.github.io/

But there are also other c compilers that have seen a bit of traction, like kickc:

Looking forward to seeing your upcoming projects.

or my personal site with CX16/C64/6502 related information.
Feel free to contact me regarding any of my projects or even about meeting up somewhere near Denmark

If you don't want to program in assembly code, there's also Prog8 for cross-compiling, and VolksForth, for hosted development.

And of course you got BASIC, pre-installed.

Hello in Clayton,

I am Ed in Kannapolis, NC. I ordered my X16 today. I started out on the TI994/A a very long time ago. I am looking forward to making some new memories with the X16. I also ordered the Agon Light. It is delivering today. I am looking forward to experiencing the joy from long ago with these retro styled toys.
