Commodore 64

I see in the weekly poll there are lots claiming their first programming was on the C64, just like myself. I am sure this must have been posted before, or everyone already knows about it, but; C64 books galore[^]
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends. Shed Petition[^]

Let me jump on the bandwagon and recommend this book: Commodore: A Company on the Edge[^]

Is that where you go for closet coding?

Boy, does that bring back memories.... I was just a youngster and someone hired me to generate a plug-in cartridge that would make the C-64 excercise a speech synthesizer that only plugged into the Apple II backplane. I tried to talk them into a) moving to the IBM PC where everything was cheaper, and then b) move the C-64 software to the Apple II. They would have none of it. I completed the project and got it to work. It just was so cost prohibitive it wasn't funny. Forty years later, I'm still a consultant/contractor. I learned a great lesson very early: The customer is always right... up until he's wrong.

Oh yes. I still have a 64C, with the 1541 Disk Drive. I learned procedural programming at an early age on this machine. I still think it was way ahead of it's time in processing power! 64 Bytes Yeah! =)

This brought back fond memories of 5 years of fun I had writing Commodares and Rupert Report for Ahoy! magazine: Ahoy! Magazine [^] You could do everything from amazing graphics (e.g. fractals) to hardware interfacing using BASIC and assembly language, including PEEKs and POKEs and sprites. I gave my C64's and C128 to friends who use them for creating exotic sounds in their 'circuit bending' live-performance band. I wonder how many C64's are still being used today!?

I've never used a C64. I used the Commodore Pet with its calculator keyboard and then later with the larger keyboard and variable speed floppy drive. Anti-piracy was a fun thing - download a program to the disk drive to slow it down, then write a track, remove the program and write the rest of the code to it. When loading up, download the program again and see if you can read what you wrote. If you can't then it was pirated. That was quite easy to crack so we put the scrambler in the input buffer. As soon as you typed something, it overwrote the scrambler. The difficulty was trying to get the scrambler within 80 bytes. Commodore couldn't crack it so they bought it off us. Also used the Sirius which was designed by Chuck Peddle (who was part of the Commodore design team). Strange how Commodore went from watches to PCs.
