About analysis

Files

Project is separated into folders:

├── docs
├── notes
├── obj
├── scripts
├── src
└── third-party

Interesting dirs:

1. docs - more official notes (documentation) for Oel Port
2. notes - containing files with my personal research (i.e. more priendy pseudo-basic code, similar to C code, etc.)
3. scripts - containing helper-scripts
4. src - containing translated game code into C++
5. third-party - licenses for third party resources

Useful links

Why so many links? Because Commodore & BASIC is bad docummented, every page contains different piece of 'good to know' information.

1. BASIC Commands
2. Commodore Memory Map
3. C64 emulator (needed only for testing original ROM)
4. Wikipedia Keywords
5. Commodore Manual
6. BASIC Ref Manual
