This video provides a technical and historical introcution to the Commodore 64, and will be referenced in future videos in the TRSE tutorial series. watch the first video in this series:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R84cfYjjvt8 If you're interested in learning about programming for the C64, check out http://www.turborascal.com/ Notes/bugs in the video: - some words are muffled. still learning how to do voice recordings. - sound will probably be more consistend when I don't have to create a pillow fortress for use as a recording studio (with cats included) - 40 columns and 25 rows, not the other way around! - a note on the colour location in bitmap mode: Hires has color data located where the text mode screen data is located, not at $D800. Same goes for multicolor, but it uses $D800 as its extra colour data. watch some of my demos for various platforms: "1981" (C64, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0G5IxSBQl4 "Aroused" (C64,2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH39q_Vs4rc "Splösh" (Pico-8,2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KIFP_j2cZo "Yo-girl makes a demo", (Gamboy, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jY4wqkSxBs "Mørketid" (Amstrad CPC, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTfnE4kXqt8 "Beep" (BBC Micro, 2021): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnAoYDjVLjc "Purple Planet Yo" (VIC-20, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmaK8ru2pz8 Music used in this video: Technical parts were made with ManimGL, a python library for mathetmatical animations: https://pypi.org/project/manimgl/ Opening: Slow Motion - Bensound https://www.bensound.com/ SIDs: Ole Marius Pettersen - Losing Light Michael P.
