Folks,
I'm wishing to brush up on assembly and learn for the C64 as I have a game I'd
like to write. I have found a resource
or two on the net which serve as a guide for doing so. Requesting
recommendations from yall seasoned c64 types who know
the best sources.
Thanks

You'll need a few books or PDFs of those books:
6502 reference
6502 programming guide
C64 system reference ("C64 Programmers Reference Guide")
C64 memory map (with annotated source code)
C64 assembly programming guide
Find them on the bombjack website:
http://69.60.118.202/commodore/books.htm
And on archive.org.

I have the "bible" here; Rodnay Zaks' "Programming the 6502". It starts
with binary arithmetic, two's complement and stuff I always found hard
to understand.
Also got me recently his book about Z80 programming.

Thanks to both for the responses. Sorry for the late reply. Life has been so
crazy and, especially with this shitty lockdown, got tons of priorities stacked
on me.
The Zaks book is fantastic. I also got the other guides from the library link
program.
Anyhoo I'm a bit dismayed how this echo died all of the sudden. Hope it wakes
back up.

It is to be expected these days I suppose. I 'came back' into the fold and it
was an active echo. So it surprised me when it suddenly dropped.
The pandemic has brought traffic back into usenet and irc. BBS's have appeared.
And this echo had a reverse effect. I suppose people are really busy.
