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...

27.02.2026 - One-line C64 BASIC Dice Program: Default RAM Initialization - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Let's take a look at another one-line Commodore 64 BASIC program. This one by Carl G. displays random dice, utilizing the Commodore 64's custom character ability in an unusual way. We examine how the program works, and along the way, how BASIC code is stored in memory. An unintended side-effect of the program's implementation is that the program's display changes somewhat on different Commodore 64 models and emulators, due to how RAM initializes, so we dive into that topic too, examining the results on a couple emulators and five different Commodore 64 computers.
