App Description

Learn how to program for the Commander X16 retro inspired computer from 8-Bit guy

But why would you want to learn that today?

Because it’s a lot of fun, because you always wanted to write a game, because you want impress yourself or your childrens?

All very valid reasons but there also more serious benefits to learn with a Retro-Computer:

- Understand the basic ideas what a CPU does, many of today’s programmers lack that understanding
- Get the aid of the built-in BASIC interpreter, that shows off what’s possible with the hardware
- Assembly helps you to understand of how memory and memory management, pointer, address, and instructions work at a very low level

The Commander X16 App teaches you exactly that! But also it makes your life as an aspiring Classics Coder much easier than it was in the 80’s. Learn everything on your iPad and iPhone
