Additional cc65 (and other) Double Resolution Videos, docs and Demos Revisited (links included)

Show all headers | View raw

So to recap from some of my previous posts, my cc65 project samples and 
related documents are roughly organized as follows:

Docs -  Root Directory - http://www.appleoldies.ca/cc65/docs/
Demos - Root Directory - http://www.appleoldies.ca/cc65/programs/

But read-on... Many links specific to these are listed further in this rant. 
A PHP script automatically serves these. And yet I still get criticism for 
my lack of documentation... so how many hours in a day do these 
"tire-kickers" think I have anyway one wonders? These are in addition to my 
Aztec C65 related work. My Aztec C65 work for the Apple II can of course be 
found in one of two or 3 places: www.appleoldies.ca or www.aztecmuseum.ca or 
www.cpm8680.com but this post is not really about my "old" work...

Today's average user would rather watch a youtube video than muck with 
program code. From my view, C compilers and programming isn't really for 
those armchair types, but just in case some of them want to follow along and 
try some real things for themselves, I have provided some primitive videos 
(without soundtrack) on my youtube channel to go along with my cc65 and 
Apple II graphics conversion demos. Some of these are listed below along 
with some other related articles, but these are by no means exhaustive of my 
material on this or any other subject that I might chose to mention, 
including the topic of graphics conversion and C compilers... and are in 
addition to my recent previous post on "Solutions for extending cc65 with 
Double-Resolution Apple II Graphics (links included)".

DHGR

Writing in C for the Apple II requires an entry-level combination skill-set 
that is roughly equivalent to that of an AppleSoft BASIC programmer combined 
with a general knowledge of the C programming language. Writing effectively 
in any language for the Apple II's "hardware specific" features like DHGR 
requires at least a working knowledge of the Apple II and some understanding 
of 6502 assembly language (and the ability to "cut and paste" and modify and 
merge example code into your own programs).

DLGR, DHGR Plus SHR

SHR graphics in will be covered in more detail in a separate post to follow. 
Since the A2B converter includes support for DHGR as well as DLGR and SHR 
these are listed below.

Disclaimer - Unkind comments will never get anyone anything from anybody who 
is not lazy and actually does something. But if you have actually made an 
effort to get my stuff to work for you (like Dagen Brock, Blake Patterson, 
Stynx et al have done), and read the source code etc. and you are still lost 
then send private mail. But I am loathe to say that any attempt at public 
shaming will surely end without the results that might have been hoped 
for... as we all know the centre of every "But" is void of enlightenment...

Enjoy and be kind to C programmers!

Bill Buckels
