Creating a Classic 3D Maze Game for the C64 in XC-BASIC 3
XC-BASIC is a cross-compiler for Commodore computers (C64/128, Vic-20, C16/Plus4, and PET), plus the Commander X16. How much faster will it make a 3D maze game?
How to Modulo on the C64 and Why You Need It
Modern systems have an extremely useful modulo operator, but in BASIC V2 on the C64 there isn’t one. Here's how we can make our own.
More C64 BASIC Optimisations
I came across a C64 BASIC game that ran pretty slow, so I challenged myself to see how much I could speed it up.
