Java & Android C64 V2 BASIC text<->PRG converter

Post by Bonux »

Hello,

If anyone interested, I made a simple C64 V2 Basic text<->PRG converter, available as a jar (Java jre 1.6) or as an apk (Android 2.2).

Not leaving my Android tablet, Now I can do a program (C64 V2 BASIC) in a text editor (Ted, ...), save it with extension .BAS, convert it in .PRG with my apk application, and import it in a C64 emulator (FRODO, ...).

And I can do the same in Windows or Linux with my jar application :)

The application can also transform a .PRG file into a clear .BAS one.

See you.

That's interesting. I'm working on a similar program. I'm using Microsoft C++. I started with a program I found called "TOK64". Have you heard of it? The advantage with this approach is a lot of the work is done already. I would like to expand it to use difference versions of BASIC like BASIC 4 and 7. It will only work in Windows. It's a huge job. I admire anyone who would dare write something like this from scratch.
