A simple C program to demo how to write games for the Microbee computer

Microbee

A simple demo to show how to create games for the Microbee computer. There are no moving parts, but demonstrates how to access the hardware.

Included is

1. Simple crt0
2. Display pixels, tiles and colours
3. Sound
4. Keyboard
5. Creating a boot disk
6. Running mame

Building and Running

A Makefile is included to build and run the demo

sudo apt install sdcc gcc automake autoconf make mame libdsk4-dev libncurses5-dev -y
make clean
make

The build environment has been tested on Linux only. The same code should work on Windows with sdcc.

A patched version of cpmtools-2.10 included, since the vanilla cpmtools does not support all the possible Microbee disk formats.
