Programming languages on C64

Post by Kilord »

Yes I know there is not too much of this Simson BASIC and Assembler. But I read somewhere that PASCAL was also created. Well, I just have a question, does anyone know where to get it? In school I learned PASCAL, so for me it would be like water for fish, considering that assembler inserts in this language can be easily made.

I think a better link :) Honestly, if you care about speed, give it a break with high-level languages at 8 'bits, but if speed is not a priority, then ok, program whatever you want.

does anyone know if the C compiler was also on C64?
some assemblers had macro syntax so extensive that it was close to C, so maybe someone did C too?
Someone tell me that the standard library was still on c64 - it would be great;) simple tools from linux / unix could be transferred
i just strartedt to bloon this summer.

Soon a new version of cc65 is coming out (the annoucement has just appeared):

This version has many improvement over version 2.12. To name a few:

- Support for bit-fields.

- Improved standards compliance. Several missing functions and headers
have been added.

- Improved compatibility with very old (K&R) sources.

- Additional warnings in case of dubious code.

- The startup code went into the library. This simplifies linker usage.

- Several improvements in the libraries. Functions were changed for
more speed or smaller size.

- Improved code generation. The code generated by the compiler is faster
than before, usually without much increase in code size.
i know that i know nothing at all.

I wonder how many fences for the frame this C can do ;-)
I'm just a small bug in grass.
