Hold my hand as I learn about C64 internals and 6502 assembly language while attempting to disassemble Jeff Minter's "best week of work I've ever done": the 1982 Commodore 64 classic, Gridrunner.
so fun! reminds me of last christmas vakay when I was stepping through the execution of a c64 basic program in assembly. I was hoping to make a page like this. maybe this year :)
strangely AMC was one of hte few cartridges I had... Minter had a strange obsession with killer camels.
After all, assembler is hard and every byte counts.
I remember a close friend of mine, co-founder of Success on C64 which later became Success/TRC, did often time not clean up memory for some of his early demos before saving the final binary for crunching and spreading.
So you would have a lot of bogus code from other sources - games - in his works. Imagine a guy disassembling his stuff nowadays. ;)
I don't think it's the same person, but "OldSkoolCoder" streams a lot on twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/oldskoolcoder) - a lot of disassembling and reverse engineering Jeff Minter games!
