C64

I&#x27;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 &quot;run&quot; and it looks like it&#x27;s compiling the two programs, puts them on a floppy, and then runs VICE with that floppy... What&#x27;s the point of this?<p>I can see the source code when I click on &quot;show files&quot;, but I cannot edit anything, I think I&#x27;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&#x27;s been around for 28 years. I&#x27;m not sure why I wouldn&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x27;s a little too slow...<p>- Automatically do the LOAD &quot;CPROG&quot;,8 and RUN<p>- Even better. Load the CPROG directly into the memory image and bypass the drive load completely<p>- Optimize Emulator startup

It&#x27;s so slow, it&#x27;s even missing keystrokes.

<p><pre><code> POKE 1,52 </code></pre> Works as expected :)

Very cool. One of the c64&#x27;s glaring omissions for a hackable machine is a built-in monitor. My suggestion: throw a monitor program (my favorite: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jblang&#x2F;supermon64" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jblang&#x2F;supermon64</a>) onto the one of the disks and you&#x27;d have a just enough to do some actual debugging.

Brilliant! Now if I could find my old cassettes, with the programs I wrote, and record them onto a computer, I wonder if they would run?

Warning: if you try the &quot;Snapshot&quot; option, it will open a window that can&#x27;t (?) be closed?

I was hoping this was one of their IDEs &#x2F; runtimes not just a program that happens to be on Replit.

Cool! Is there a way to save as a d64 file and export out of the browser?

Is this open source?
