• CBM.prg Studio (Windows)
  CBM prg Studio by Arthur Jordison is a Windows IDE which allows you to type a BASIC or machine code program and convert it to a '.prg' file, which you can then run in an emulator or on real hardware. It also includes character, sprite and screen editors and a fully featured 6510/65816 debugger
  
  • RetroGameDev - companion book for CBM.prg Studio
    “If you're looking for information about how to create games for the C64 please take a look at RetroGameDev by Derek Morris. It's a brand new book which details creating two games, a space shooter and a platform game. The games were created with CBM prg Studio and so it also serves as an excellent tutorial. Please support Derek by buying this book. He's put an incredible amount of effort into it and it really shows.” (description by Arthur Jordison)
