nivsWith some more fiddling I got VIC20 Oscar64 source-level debugging sort of working with VSCode and VICE using the VS64 extension. It seems to ignore the -O0 compiler flag though so the debug line jumps around all over the place. VS64 doesn’t really support VIC20 or Oscar64 yet so 🤷🏻‍♂️<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrodev</a>

nivsWas reminded of Oscar64 by <a href="https://mastodon.nl/@macumbamacaca" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@macumbamacaca</a> I’d seen it before where it was a bytecode system and quite slow, but it's been changed to compile straight to 6502 since. It might not be an entirely fair comparison here, but my "level map" example in O64 is half the size of TRSE's and it's ... just C.VIC20 support is little sparse but I can peek and poke memory so what else does it really need?<a href="https://github.com/drmortalwombat/oscar64" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/drmortalwombat/oscar64</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RetroDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RetroDev</a>

nivsHad a look again at Millfork, KickC and cc65. First two seem dead now? cc65 gets slagged for poor code, but this article on optimisations has some hints that really help. It’s called “advanced” but I write my Amiga C a lot like this anyway, like asm 😎<a href="https://github.com/ilmenit/CC65-Advanced-Optimizations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/ilmenit/CC65-Advanced-Optimizations</a>No real idea how it compares to TRSE code though.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrodev</a>

nivsMessing around in TRSE. Got a "level map" loading from a compressed file and poked to the VIC-20 screen.

MontyOnTheRunA bit cramped, but it makes the flow of the battle much clearer now. The messages will be improved, of course!All names, graphics and moves are placeholders.I have to admit that even for me, it was hard to follow the battles sometimes and I had to employ breakpoints to better understand what was going on. <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/screenshotsaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenshotsaturday</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/retrodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrodev</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/gba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gba</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/rpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rpg</a> <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/dungeoncrawler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dungeoncrawler</a>
