Hey, how do you move keyboard focus back and forth between the code and the emulation screen? (Perhaps it’s a problem that has to do with me being in a browser in iOS?).
Is there a documentation page? Thx!
Was fed the IDE video on youtube, and was blown away. I’m old school… with deep chops at the very heart and very start of personal computing. Attempted to build my own computer (with the help of a bonafide engineer) back in the 70’s… but life happens. Back then I knew David Fox before he became project lead at Lucas Arts, turning out Zak McKracken and Maniac Mansion (and many others).
I cut my teeth on the Radio Shack Model 1, the PET, Sol Systems, Apple II. All new machines back in the day, which I rented time on at David’s computer center where I learned BASIC on my own with coaching from David and his wife Annie (who I definitely had a crush on :)
The first system I owned was the Radio Shack Color Computer, and then after that, the Amiga 1000, and numerous Amiga’s which followed.
I’ve always coded, but don’t consider myself a programmer… as I’m self taught. Back then, you had to be.
I’m getting back into it because nostalgia, and the rebirth of the Commodore brand (I ordered one of their new C64s the moment they were announced).
Currently I’m using the C64 mini and A500 mini… with an aim to make a mini A1000.
I’m also learning AGS to make retro style adventure games.

Welcome Andy H the amazing mind behind a ton of modern Vic 20 games!
Hi all, you might already know me somewhat, but I am guessing most people are meeting me for the first time so I will start the introductions.
I am the founder of Retro Game Coders, and I am your typical retro content creator geek, IE. middle aged dude with glasses and facial hair.
My first computer was the Vic 20 and the day we got it started my whole career. After that we had the Spectrum 128+2, Atari 520STFM, 286 PC...
and now ... I have a dragon's hoard of old machines. I'm working on creating a game and tutorials for all of them.
