Spent some time in the last few weeks creating a small and simple text adventure engine for the #C64 with #cc65. Nothing noteworthy tbh but surely a very good exercise for my tired old mind. Had to twist and retrain quite a bit to make it make sense (and be reasonably debuggable).

Funny thing is you have to work at such a low level that any bug will pretty much break the universe in the weirdest way. It's much more instructive than frustrating, tbh.
Besides learning a lot, my admiration for the coders of my childhood has grown tenfold. True magicians the lot of them.

In the last few years I tried my hand at learning some C and maybe write some tiny games for the old #C64 (I don't have the skills or brains for Assembly).
It's beyond hard and the results are very simple, but believe me it feels great to watch anything you wrote run on a 40+ years old computer.
