Commodore 64: 8 Bit Legend
Author: Zeldin - written on 19.09.2012
Bah... seems I am not able to post something regularly... at least not even once a year :-(
I am currently writing on my second novel, and don't find time for C64 activities, which is really sad. Next year we'll have 25th anniversary of Cascade, and I really want to make some little celebration demo around this happening, but I am afraid, it will be a tough nut to find some free minutes for squeezing a bunch of pixels, code and music into a file.
Well, we'll see...
Anyway... today I finally felt to post something, not only for giving the front page look a deserved change, but to make sure you won't miss the following youtube vid, which is really impressive. A brilliant and contemporary commercial for our good old and beloved breadbox.
So here we go...

15.08.2025 - C64 Truchet Tiles Assembly Code Walkthrough - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
It's time for a code walkthrough for the Truchet Tiles Commodore 64 program demonstrated in a previous video. We cover the BASIC stub that makes a machine language program RUNnable, the PETSCII characters used for the Truchet tiles, initializing colour memory, how the 30 Truchet patterns of varying sizes are stored in memory for easy access, plotting the tiles to screen, and more. There's also a short bonus about a tile-based mini RPG Robin worked on years ago.

13.08.2025 - 'Die Siedler II Gold Edition' is coming to Amiga (AGA)
The legendary classic building strategy game is finally coming to the Amiga! In 1993, The Settlers revolutionised gaming on the Amiga and invented a completely new genre: the building strategy game. When the even more ambitious sequel, The Settlers II, was released in 1996 and is still loved by fans today, the king of home computers did not get it. Almost 30 years later, this gaming history is finally being corrected! Officially licensed by Ubisoft Entertainment, The Settlers II Gold Edition will be available natively for the Amiga from 18 October 2025. Not as a quick port, but as a lovingly optimised version that shows what the Amiga is really capable of.
