Commodore 64 Programs
Long, long ago, I tried to hack together a suite of Commodore 64 utility programs in BASIC.
They didn't have to be great, I just needed them as tools to help me develop the crumby Paradoxia RPG game
I was trying to make on the C128.
These were some of my first programming accomplishments, so for that I'm happy about them.
And yet, in retrospect, they're not very exiciting...
Micro Dos
Micro Dos was an an attempt to write a DOS-like shell for the Commodore 64.
("Digital Dude" was a moniker I used when distributing these programs over C= BBS circuits of the 80's)
Later I would try to write a text-windowed shell for it, called "Ultra Utilities".
Micro Mon
Micro Mon(itor) was a handy little machine language monitor.
I wrote it and then used it to stop into the world of ML programming.
("SSJS" was a nickname for a programming team consisting of me and a buddy, whos initials together went "SSJS")
Micro Msg
Micro Msg("Message") was a program to write and edit messages using C= color markup codes, such was used to plug into a BBS for message posting.
Micro Cdr
Micro Cdr("Coder") was a utility that allowed you to interactively edit the C= character set in a primitive image-editor-like interface.
You could load and save a custom character set to disk. I used this myself to edit the charset during the development of Paradoxia on the C=128.
Download
All in all, not very exiting. Even so, download these utilities if you like. You'll need a way to deal with .D64 files, of course.
