zip1 The Write Stuff 64 Manual (3rd Printing, Feb. 1988)

The Write Stuff is a collection of word processing software. The main program, BB Writer, is a high productivity, full-featured word processor for the Commodore 64. Although designed to meet the needs of advanced users, BB Writer, when used in "menu mode," is equally suitable for use by children and occasional users. BB Writer allows all essential edit-print-load-save features to be selected from menus. No special keyboard or embedded commands need to be learned. However, as the user gains experience, over 100 advanced features can be selected using keyboard and embedded commands.

BB Talker is the talking version of BB Writer that works with S.A.M., the Software Automatic Mouth. If you have the double-sided version, S.A.M. and BB Talker are both on the backside of the disk. BB Talker is on the single-sided version, but you must have a copy of S.A.M. to use it.

pdf6 Tiny Forth Manual NEW

FORTH is a high-level programming language. A program written in FORTH does not look at all like its equivalent written in BASIC. Nonetheless, FORTH is as equally capable as BASIC in problem solving.

In some respects FORTH is superior to BASIC. For instance, FORTH programs typically execute faster than BASIC programs. FORTH programs are usually shorter than BASIC programs. FORTH is "extensible" - you can add new words to the language. On the other hand, most people initially find that FORTH programs are cryptic compared to BASIC.

TINY FORTH is a version of FORTH for the COMMODORF 64 and VIC-20 microcomputers. It contains most of the language elements found in the fig-FORTH standard (most widely used version). TINY FORTH runs on a standard COMMODORE 64 or a VIC-20 with a minimum of an 8K memory expander.

This manual will show you how to get TINY FORTH up and running on your micro. It introduces you to the language elements that are included in TINY FORTH. However, it is not a tutorial on FORTH programming. For that, we recommend one of the references listed in the BIBLIOGRAPHY. Still we'll show you enough examples so that you are able to see how TINY FORTH works.

Our advice to you is to sit down with TINY FORTH and experiment with the words in the GLOSSARY. Not only will you find TINY FORTH a powerful language, but it is a fun one too. So have fun!

pdf20 White Lightning & Basic Lightning Supplement NEW

This manual is supplied as a supplement to the Basic and White Lightning manuals. It is intended to give further explanation and examples of the IDEAL graphics routines covered in those manuals.

The Lightning series of products has been designed in such a way that the IDEAL graphics commands used in Basic and White Lightning not only have the same syntax and operation, but also use the same parameters. Therefore most of the IDEAL commands will be explained with the aid of Basic Lightning, using Basic Lightning examples, as this should make it easier for most users to understand.

pdf21 White Lightning Manual NEW

White Lightning is a high level graphics development system for the Commodore 64. It is aimed primarily at the user who has commercial games writing in mind and has
the patience to learn a sizeable new language. It is not a games designer and stunning results probably won't be produced overnight, but it does have the power and flexibility to produce software of a commercial standard (with a little perseverance!). Software produced using White Lightning can be marketed without restriction, although we would be very grateful if you felt you could pop a small credit on the sleeve.

Assembly language has three advantages over most high level languages: speed, flexibility and compactness. During the running of an arcade game, the processor spends most of its time manipulating screen data, and if the appropriate commands are implemented in the language, the execution "overhead" is very small. Add to this the fact that considerable time has been spent on the routines themselves to optimize execution speed, and we feel most machine code programmers would be hard pressed to better White Lightning for speed. As far as flexibility is concerned, White Lightning has almost 300 commands as well as access to BASIC and machine language if required. A lot of the tricky routines like rotations and enlargements are already implemented for you. As far as compactness goes, Forth itself produces very compact code, but there is, of course, the overhead of the language itself. Assembly language has four major drawbacks. Firstly, you've got to learn it. Having mastered machine code, program development is very slow compared with a typical high level language, there is no "crash protection" whatsoever, and to produce effective results, you need a fairly intimate knowledge of the machine you're working with.

BASIC has several points in its favor, these are: excellent crash protection, extremely readable source code and a relatively short learning curve. These features make BASIC a very good introduction to programming for the hobbyist, but for the serious games writer, the language is insufficient in terms of both its speed and flexibility.

White Lightning is Forth based and therefore has virtually the speed of machine code, no knowledge of the machine is required, the source code is relatively readable, and it is fairly well protected from crashing.
