C64 Programming with AI
The reward - a knowledge pack for AI coding agents to create and debug C64 cartridges with file systems and a couple of games in cartridge format.In late June 2026 I took on several projects for the Commodore 64 with Claude and Gemini. Due to a promotion there was $1000 worth of Anthropic usage in my account and I intended to spend it on some C64 stuff before it was gone.(If you want to skip my "scene" rant, please go to the next heading.)The second reason: There is stuff I want but nobody builds. There is a handful of people that do proper versions of good old C64 games for modern environments.

The first reason was: I had credits to burn. Due to a promotion there was $1000 worth of Anthropic usage in my account and I intended to spend it on some C64 stuff before it was gone.(If you want to skip my "scene" rant, please go to the next heading.)The second reason: There is stuff I want but nobody builds. The C64 "scene" is a strange place. There is a handful of people that do proper versions of good old C64 games for modern environments.
