Accompanying software

Hello,

I received my Beam Racer today and installed it, all of the LEDs light up on the board and my C64 still displays a picture so I assume everything is correct.

I’m possibly being stupid but I couldn’t see any downloads for any of the accompanying software such as VBASIC. Is this available somewhere?

Thanks

Hello,

Apologies, we’re still putting the finishing touches on the software. I will post download links here and on the website in the next few hours.

If all the LEDs are up and your machine still displays the expected picture :wink: then it couldn’t be any more correct than that!

As my friend already mentioned - we’ll add more links and source code, etc. but for now I just released VBASIC on CSDB:

Header files, utility routines, VBASIC source code, and first programming examples are now available at https://github.com/madhackerslab.

We will be adding more throughout the weekend.

Awesome. I will try out the software and try and remember my C64 assembler, it’s been a few years since I last did some.

I got all the demos to work! :slight_smile: For completeness, it might be nice for the bin/ to be pre-populated in the vbasic repo, and for all pre-built binaries to be named with a .prg extension (unless there’s a reason they shouldn’t that I’m not thinking of). But I was able to build (with cc65), rename, and transfer the demos without difficulty.

Hello! Good to hear that everything is fine. :slight_smile:

You’re right about the filenames, I’ll sort out the repo tomorrow. Please expect more examples landing before the weekend.
