I believe that a true purist—someone who is a genuine enthusiast and fan, for instance of the Commodore 64—would not be content to have an artificial intelligence write a program for them; rather, they would want to get their own hands on it. In my view, that is the best approach. At most, artificial intelligence can serve as an aid when one runs into difficulties or gets stuck on a particular programming step, but it should only be a form of assistance—the rest should be done by the person themselves.
That’s how I see it...
I'd really love to get your opinion on this!
The online cc65/c64 IDE is great! Let's me do some development at work where they don't allow me to install softwares.
For some reason this code won't produce any output for "score". Have tried many different formatting options in cprintf, but none work:
#include \<conio.h>
#include \<stdio.h>
int main(void) {
unsigned char score = 123;
clrscr();
cprintf ( "Score is %03u", score );
cprintf("%03u",123);
return 0;}
Hi everyone, we had an C64 when I was a kid and back then I wanted to become a game developer. I'm did not end up as a game developer but I am a software engineer nowadays.
I'm deep into retro programming as a hobby. I have three vintage computers: a ZX Spectrum a Acorn electron and a Oric Atmos.
And I also have some retro computers a Mister Multi System² and an Agon Light 2 and an Agon Console8.

Help!
I have been working on weekly news roundups. Have you taken a look? What would you change?
Hi fellow retrocoders! I’m Alberto (Alby) from Italy. I grew up with the C64 and a cassette deck, using them mostly for gaming. Now that I’m 47, I’ve developed an interest in vintage computers—partly out of nostalgia—and I’d love to create some retro-style video games or small applications, even using modern tools. However, I’m a beginner with a lot to learn, and I’d also like to make some money from the apps or games I create.
haven't been into retro gaming but I want to try it. I liked my game boy advanced back in the day. I used to play some games on a desk top computer like DOOM and Wolfenstein or something.
I'm getting into it now though because I bought a r36s retro game console. I'm actually here to see if I can get help making the blasted thing work. I can't even turn it on and get it to power up :-(.
How do you feel about more and more 'AI' being used in retro communities?
See this announcement from TatungBytes ..
I have just discovered this community and the work of Chris and immediately rushed to register. Some of you may have used my products in the past Stos Amos K&P etc... It is absolutely amazing to see them still alive after so many years and I can only thank you guys and girls for keeping them alive like this.
Not much to show today, yet I am working on a new game-engine called Volt.A with a totally different approach than before, with a data-flow language, AI (local) everywhere YET still programming and in 3D when completed. Making a game will become like an adventure, an adventure in learning how to make games and understanding all the mechanics behind.
Anyway, VERY happy to be here in what seems a thriving community.
👍👍👍

I'm a hobby musician, a remix artist, and a C64 demoscener.
For my C64 demoscene stuff, look here: https://csdb.dk/scener/?id=40796
I'm not much of a coder, but I occasionally fiddle around with TRSE and make small C64 intros and simple little demos.
Always on the lookout for good TRSE tutorials, so I'm glad this place exists.
Cheers! 👍
