this one works nicely: http://www.cc65.org/src/getcpu.s.html

fitting eg the irc client into 24k might be doable - you should get in touch with oliver schmidt incase you want to have a closer look

if they ever manage to make VICE work, maybe it can run DooM that way then :)

check the "cc65-portlib" here: http://hitmen.c02.at/html/tools_portlib.html ... it includes code for 26 columns and also a soft-40 driver for vic20. it is 10 years old by now though and will probably need a few adjustments to work with a recent cc65.

which svn are you talking about? the one run by UZ (ie the old one) hasnt been updated at all for a while.

actually the repository moved to github: https://github.com/oliverschmidt/cc65 ... the old svn is abbandoned

"instead of trying to sabotage or restrict open source development, it gives users more licence to do their own thing."
and instead of having some professional game studios to back them up... they got ... well, what?

you probably have to do an ioreset and restore a bunch of things in zeropage (and pages 2/3) before loading/running a basic program works.

link to source please?

Aren't there any compilers that produce at least partially native 6502 code instead of interpreted code?

"basic boss" does that. no idea if there exists a version targetted to vic20 though.

that doesnt answer in any way what exactly i am allowed to put into the first line and what not

I guess the problem is the definition of the word "release".

not really, but if you are not sure - look at the rules :)

"Tokra, since you did the loader, do you feel like entering Doom? Do you think that would be possible? I don't know how they feel about games that are already "released"..." things already released can not compete - updated versions that have significant changes over the released...

yes, exactly the same. we do not emulate the look of the original box yet =)
