BitMagic is an innovative project designed by Yazwh0, to create a Commander X16 Development Suite integrated into VSCode. While it boasts strong compatibility with the X16, it is not yet 100% complete. Developers can track compatibility issues and updates on the project’s GitHub repository.
The suite features a robust debugger equipped with a fully functional compiler and a macro language, offering extensive flexibility to developers. These tools are designed to streamline 65c02 development, removing many of the challenges traditionally associated with retro programming.
Within the VSCode environment, developers can code and debug their projects as seamlessly as they would with any modern programming language, making the transition to retro development intuitive and enjoyable.
BitMagic enhances the 65c02 development experience, making retro programming on the Commander X16 both accessible and fun for developers of all skill levels.
Documentation is now available at bitmagic.org!
