# c64_samples_kick
This is a repository of Commodore 64 sample programs that are built using the Kick Assembler.  Each directory usually contains a small example program demonstrating just one or a few concepts.  The programs can be executed/tested on the VICE C64 emulator running on Windows or loaded onto to a real Commodore 64.

# Setup
To setup a development environment to build and run these sampes follow the following steps

- Install the latest java runtime
  - Download from here: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
  - I used version 1.8.0_291

- Install Kick Assembler.  This is an assembler specifically for C64 code.
  - Download the latest released version here: http://theweb.dk/KickAssembler
  - I used version: V5.20

- Install the VICE C64 emulator 
  - Download the latest version here: https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/
  - I used version 3.5

- Install C64 debugger to use.
  - Download lastest from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/c64-debugger/
  - I used version v0.64.58.4

- Select a code editor, I used VS Code
  - Download from here: https://code.visualstudio.com/
  - I used version 1.56.2

- Install the Kick Assembler IDE Extension for VS Code Named "Kick Assembler (C64) for Visual Studio Code" by Paul Hocker
  - Start up VS Code
  - Search for Extension (ctrl-shift-x) 
  - type in Kick Assembler (C64)
  - Install
  - configure the extension in VS Code, specifically find and set the settings that point the extension where it can find
    - Kick assembler jar file (KickAss.jar)
    - Emulator runtime, which is the VICE C64 emulator (x64sc.exe)
    - C64 debugger runtime (C64Debugger.exe)
    - Java runtime (java.exe) 
    
- Now you should be ready to try the samples in this repository.

- Clone this repository.
- Some some samples may require some utility code from https://github.com/nealvis/nv_c64_util so clone that repo into a directory that sits at the same level as this repository.
- In VS Code, open one of the directories like hello, open the assembly file like hello.asm in the editor.  Then go to the command palette with ctrl-shift-p and select or type in "Kick Assembler: Build and Run" if configured correctly the program will run in VICE.
