bash Script

generator-c64basicv2 gives you three bash scripts to convert and run c64 basic v2 programs. To use these script install Vice

run.sh: to run a prg using Vice (x64sc)

#!/bin/bash
SOURCE=$(echo $1)
FILENAME=$(echo ${SOURCE##*/})
echo $FILENAME
petcat -w2 -o ./bin/$FILENAME -- $1
x64sc ./bin/$FILENAME

run this script using the command:

bash run.sh src/helloworld.prg

convertAll.sh: to convert all the prg (src folder) between ASCII, PETSCII and tokenized BASIC.

#!/bin/bash
for filename in ./src/*.prg; do
    SOURCE=$(echo $filename)
    echo $SOURCE
    DEST=$(echo ${SOURCE##*/})
    echo $DEST
    petcat -w2 -o ./bin/$DEST -- $SOURCE
done

created64.sh: to create a d64 image disk containing all the converted prg

#!/bin/bash
c1541 -format "diskname,1" d64 ./d64/diskname.d64
for filename in ./bin/*.prg; do
    SOURCE=$(echo $filename)
    echo $SOURCE
    DEST=$(echo ${SOURCE##*/})
    echo $DEST
    c1541 ./d64/diskname.d64 -write $filename $DEST
