Favorite Tools?

Hi!

For ASM programming I have been using DASM and Crimson Editor.

For BASIC, I have no real tool/editor?

What does everyone else use for ASM/BASIC programming?

For editing and debugging Basic programs on the VIC itself, you could use Programmers' Aid. In Windows environment there is BasEdit.

For assembly programming and debugging on the VIC you could use VIC Monitor. As a crossassembler, DASM is ok.

WimBasic also provides for several editing and debugging features (next to a wealth of extra runtime commands and functions).
As a crossassembler I use TASM.

Regards,

Wim.

I use Eclipse+WUDSN IDE and ca65/ld65 for ASM cross-development.

According to their homepage, WUSDN IDE now also supports running ca65 directly, but I did not check it yet, because I use GNU make to run the assembler&linker. WUDSN IDE also supports DASM & XASM.

Edit: typo.

I use Aart Bik's Mac/Win/Lin2c64 assembler.

Aart Bik himself is still active on the KIM:

What about specifically for writing BASIC programs?

I tend to enter them directly, and copypaste them into a text editor (Textwrangler on my Mac) for keeping a clearer overview and some edits, copypasting them back into the emulator.
But I guess it's a bit clumsy...

I have all sorts of problem copy/pasting into VICE, the characters always come out really weird!

Yeah, so far I only used it on basic things that didn't contain the graphic characters. Just the all-caps letters works OK. But it's a cludge, I admit.
