2 This directory contains sample programs for the cc65 compiler.
4 Below is a short description for each of the programs together with a list of
5 the supported platforms.
9 * The supplied makefile needs GNU make. It works out of the box on Linux
10 and similar systems. If you're using Windows, consider installing Cygwin.
12 * The makefile specifies the C64 as the default target system, because all
13 but one of the programs run on this platform. When compiling for another
14 system, you will have to change the line that specifies the target system
15 at the top of the makefile, specify the system with SYS=<target> on the
16 make command line or set a SYS env var.
19 List of supplied sample programs:
21 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 Description: Shows the ASCII (or ATASCII, PETSCII) codes of typed
24 characters. Written and contributed by Greg King
26 Platforms: All platforms with conio or stdio (compile time configurable).
28 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Description: A disc copy program written and contributed by Oliver
31 Schmidt, <ol.sc@web.de>. Supports single or dual disc copy.
32 Platforms: The program does depend on conio and dio (direct disk i/o),
33 so it does currently compile for the Atari and Apple ][
36 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
38 Description: Enumerates all devices, directories and files. Written and
39 contributed by Oliver Schmidt, <ol.sc@web.de>.
40 Platforms: All systems with device enumeration and directory access
41 (currently the C64, the C128 and the Apple ][).
43 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 Description: Another graphics demo written by groepaz/hitmen.
46 Platforms: The program is currently only running on the C64, but should
47 be portable to the C128 and CBM510 (and maybe more machines).
49 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
51 Description: A gunzip utility for 6502 based machines written by Piotr
53 Platforms: Runs on all platforms with file I/O (currently the Atari, the
54 Apple ][ and most Commodore machines).
56 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
58 Description: A nice "Hello world" type program that uses the conio
59 console I/O library for output.
60 Platforms: Runs on all platforms that support conio, which means:
61 Apple ][, Atari, C16, C64, C128, CBM510, CBM610, PET, Plus/4
63 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
65 Description: A mandelbrot demo using integer arithmetic. The demo was
66 written by groepaz/hitmen and converted to cc65 using TGI
67 graphics by Stephan Haubenthal.
68 Platforms: Runs on all platforms that have TGI support:
69 Apple ][, C64, C128, Oric Atmos, Geos and Lynx.
71 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
73 Description: Shows how to use the mouse.
74 Platforms: All systems with mouse and conio support:
75 C64, C128, CBM510, Atari, Apple ][
77 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
79 Description: Shows how to combine multiple cc65 features incl. overlays
80 and extended memory drivers. Written and contributed by
81 Oliver Schmidt, <ol.sc@web.de>.
82 Platforms: All systems with an overlay linker config, disk directory
83 access and EMD support (currently the C64, the C128,
84 the Atari and the Apple ][).
86 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
88 Description: Plays "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
89 Platforms: All systems that have the Commodore SID (Sound Interface
91 C64, C128, CBM510, CBM610
93 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
95 Description: Shows how to load overlay files from disk. Written and
96 contributed by Oliver Schmidt, <ol.sc@web.de>.
97 Platforms: All systems with an overlay linker config (currently the C64,
98 the C128, the Atari and the Apple ][).
100 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
102 Description: A fancy graphics demo written by groepaz/hitmen.
103 Platforms: The program needs a VIC, or a TED, so it runs on the following
105 C64, C128, CBM510, Plus/4
107 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
109 Description: Implements the "Sieve of Eratosthenes" as a way to find all
110 prime numbers in a specific number interval. Often used as
112 Platforms: All systems with conio and clock support:
113 Atari, C16, C64, C128, CBM510, CBM610, PET, Plus/4,
114 Apple ][ (without timing due to missing clock support)
116 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
118 Description: Shows some of the graphics capabilities of the "tiny graphics
120 Platforms: Runs on all platforms that have TGI support:
121 Apple ][, C64, C128, Oric Atmos, Geos and Lynx.
