Commander X16

Hello all!

I was a big C-64 user back in the 80s, got a 128 in the 90s, moved on to Amiga and later succumbed to the x86 world, though mostly was able to stick with Linux, only using Windows when I had to.

 

I recently started playing with cc65 to practice my C skills, found that it also had targets for the CX16, so I thought I'd check out this community.  Unfortunately, no tgi library for CX16 yet, so, can't port any of the crappy graphics programs I've written.  I just posted a CX-16 version of the MAD Program that Adrian's Digital Basement covered in a recent Mini Mail Call.  The BASIC version on the CX-16 (emulator) runs almost as fast as the compiled C version does on a C64 (though I've not run it on real metal yet, just in VICE and the C64 MiSTER core).

I found that cc65 does have tgi, just the version in the Fedora 32 repos didn't have it.  I grabbed the latest from github and was able to compile my C version of the mad-computer demo.  It, along with the source code, has been uploaded to the same spot as the BASIC version.
