Program C64 In Your Browser
-
Did you know you can program the Commodore 64 from your web browser? Archive.org allows you to run BASIC in a C64 emulator from your web browser: Commodore 64 Basic : Commodore International : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive[^] Also, you can read the original C64 User Manual (which has some explanation of BASIC programming) -- you can read the manual right in your browser (don't have to download): Commodore 64 Manual (EN) (1982) : Commodore Business Machines Inc. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive[^] And you can read the C64 Programmer's Reference on the site too: Commodore 64 Programmer's Reference Guide : Commodore Computer : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive[^] Wow! Why? Because you can. I think this helps me resolve the fact that when I was young & had a C64 available I couldn't understand BASIC programming. :-D

As a kid growing up in French, I understood the examples better than the English explanations. I had a 64, a 64C, then a 128 (in that order). I remember my folks sold my original 64 to some acquaintance of theirs, but I cannot remember where the 64C and 128 ended up (nor my collection of apps/games on a few hundred floppies).

Great story, thanks for sharing. I had a Coleco Adam (and one class in High School where we used a TRS-80 to run/learn BASIC) and I would type programs in from magazines & invariably they wouldn't work because of some typo (in the magazine or typed by me). Then I'd be stuck.

My first computer was an Altair, but the C64 soon followed. Ah fond memories!

That's truly amazing you had an Altair! That really goes back & could/should probably be considered the 1st PC. Just blinkenlights though. :laugh:
Switches and lights, that's what made the C64 so amazing.

I was gifted a Commodore 64/Plus 4 which was not compatible, and mine had some ROM errors. I never really did much with it. I had an Apple ][gs at the time - hateful thing, and that's what I was coding on. They have emulators out there, but it's something I'd rather keep well in the rear view mirror.

I started with a Spectrum 128k, had to load games like "Panic in the orient express" from cassettes and started programming basic from the book that came with it, explaining to my elder brothers what it "meant" a bit later.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I had an Apple IIc, back when it was new, and only $3800. What a heap of steaming dingo entrails that was; I couldn't wait to dump that thing. That was my first store-bought computer, and there have only been few since that I didn't build from scratch - none of them have ever again been made by Apple.
