Compile 6502 assembly code in VSCode on Mac, Linux, and Windows #6502 #Assembly #VSCode #Commodore

Twitter user @awsm9000 has created a GitHub repo to get beginners started developing cross platform 6502 assembly with VSCode.

With this basic setup you will be able to write and compile 6502 assembly code on Mac, Linux or Windows. It is by no means perfect, but it should get most beginners started and is easy to setup and configure. I’m hoping to help more people with their first attempts at writing 8 bit assembly code. Also consider this repo as an invitation to improve and share my setup. Any feedback is very welcome, share your ideas in the issues section or contribute to the repo with your pull requests. Thanks!

The framework consists of the following software (all free):

• Visual Studio Code
• Acme Cross Assembler extension for VSCode
• Vice Commodore 64 Emulator
• This template on GitHub

The GitHub document goes through step by step so even a beginner should be able to get started easily.

@AWSM9000 is also the author of Spritemate which was featured a few days ago.
