This is a fine book on C64 Development。 It starts easy and simple， with the basics on 6502 and some specifics of the platforms， and guides you through the creation of two games - one simple space shooter， and a platformer。The tutorials are very easy to follow， up to a certain point midway through the Shooter， where you have to start using the given examples to do anything。 It's still easy to do， but if you are trying to do the projects on your own， there's a bit more work to do。Still， it's a gre This is a fine book on C64 Development。 It starts easy and simple， with the basics on 6502 and some specifics of the platforms， and guides you through the creation of two games - one simple space shooter， and a platformer。The tutorials are very easy to follow， up to a certain point midway through the Shooter， where you have to start using the given examples to do anything。 It's still easy to do， but if you are trying to do the projects on your own， there's a bit more work to do。Still， it's a great intro to the C64。 It doesn't enter more advanced topics， but that fine， since it's a book about the basics， and it does that really well。 。。。more

Having programmed other 8-bit computers in the 1980s， I was expecting something with a bit more detail。 This book is more of a "follow along" and use the "CBM 。prg Studio" IDE to create an some example apps。 There is very little detail about the hardware registers and how to get the most out of the custom chips。 Having programmed other 8-bit computers in the 1980s， I was expecting something with a bit more detail。 This book is more of a "follow along" and use the "CBM 。prg Studio" IDE to create an some example apps。 There is very little detail about the hardware registers and how to get the most out of the custom chips。 。。。more

Schöne Einführung in die C64 Spieleentwicklung， die die generellen Konzepte kommuniziert。 Anfangs ein perfektes Tempo mit angenehmer Detailtiefe， später arg kurz gehalten， man benötigt parallel definitiv noch tiefergehende Literatur zu Assembler。
