Making 8-Bit Music from Scratch at the Commodore 64 Basic Prompt – Linus Akesson [video] (youtube.com) 7 points by soegaard 2y ago ↗ HN
[–] soegaard 2y ago ↗ This is was a fun, entertaining watch.There are several neat tricks in the video, like reusing the basic editor for the editing tracks.And even though Linus probably practised beforehand, it's impressive to see machine code programming without an assembler. [–] MagerValp 2y ago ↗ And he does it in decimal, which breaks my brain. [–] soegaard 2y ago ↗ It's a good choice for the video though.Thinking of D0 in, say, D020 as a page number, makes it a bit more intuitive. But you are right, page 208 is not as familiar as D0.
