I'm confused. So... someone figured out that you can use cc65 to compile C code for the C64, and then he stuck it into an Emscripten version of VICE and put it on the web? I can click on "run" and it looks like it's compiling the two programs, puts them on a floppy, and then runs VICE with that floppy... What's the point of this?<p>I can see the source code when I click on "show files", but I cannot edit anything, I think I'm obviously missing something here... how is that an IDE? Or is the IDE running inside VICE and I can load it somehow?<p>Can someone enlighten me?
Seems to be VICE running in a web client? VICE is a well-known Commodore 64 emulator that's been around for 28 years. I'm not sure why I wouldn't just run this locally? Serious question - what is the advantage of this?<p>Running it on Replit I had to answer a multi-stage CAPTCHA identifying all trucks and then it was so slow I couldn't even type without holding the keys down for several seconds before they would register.
Very nice.
Some ideas... that you already thought of ;-)
For a REPL it's a little too slow...<p>- Automatically do the LOAD "CPROG",8 and RUN<p>- Even better. Load the CPROG directly into the memory image and bypass the drive load completely<p>- Optimize Emulator startup
Very cool. One of the c64's glaring omissions for a hackable machine is a built-in monitor. My suggestion: throw a monitor program (my favorite: <a href="https://github.com/jblang/supermon64" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jblang/supermon64</a>) onto the one of the disks and you'd have a just enough to do some actual debugging.
