Programming adventures in VIC-20.

My experience

I learnt VIC-20 assembly programming quite late, with a PC using an emulator. What I did was to write small snippets of assembly code to validate mi ideas. At the very beginning, many of the snippets failed. However, I keep testing thins and programing and, at the end, almost everything worked.

So I suggest you to write little assembly snippets. Some examples: print anything on screen, read a word from keyboard, search for an item into vector, test calls to BASIC or Kernal ROM, and so on.

You do not need to print things on screen to see if a snippet works. You may view the memory and the register with the monitor (already included in Vice emulator) or executing the snippet step by step using CMB PRG Studio (take care because it is not the best option).
