@kianryan its been a week or so since I last posted an update on the In The Dark port.

I pivoted away from Basic, to C compiled in CC65. Basics limitations of no scoped variables were becoming painful.

Also the "speed" of generating levels was abysmal.

Got the C version to the point I had the Basic version to tonight.

Need to add input and movement next...

@goatsarah I have a thoroughly modern development environment. Code is written on Vscode on Linux, compiled there using cc65 which is a c to 6502 cross compiler under Linux which produces a prg file that you can load into Vice (commode emulator) to test.

When it’s finished I’m going to make a .d64 disk image that can be loaded onto my real Commodore 64 via the SD card in the kung fu flash cartridge that I have.

@Sarah Brown @Walker Boh🛡 40 years later I still have whole neurons dedicated to knowing that 201 is RET in z80

@goatsarah @ajlanes by the time I got to the 6502 I had an assembler, so alas none of those opcodes ever reserved themselves a slot in my memory 😂

@goatsarah @ajlanes I was a hacker on “the scene” back in the day, so the assembler was a copy lol
