   I had an idea to write a text adventure interface, where you would type in 'forward', 'left', 'shoot' etc via the API. We understand nearby objects like doors, monsters and pickups, so could implement things li

   Haha yes... although I would be slightly nervous to expose my janky C code to the internet. Where I'm confident it would crash and burn in a very short amount of time :)

    You would need to replace the rs232 code with code to talk to the Wifi modem. You would need to deal with websocket handling and JSON parsing. Doable, for sure, but would be significant work (depending on the richness of the API provided by

    Thanks, yeah, I will try this - I followed a design for a c64-pc cable without considering that the Pi probably had serial port pins.

    Thanks! It's just a fun project, so of course there are lots of ways to improve it! I found writing 6502 assembly code is strangely comfortable once you get over the initial face-palm moments ;)

    You're right in that the RasPi does the outbound connectivity and exposes a rpc stream that the C64 can interact with more easily than JSON, but thats all. The interactivity is driven by the C64, and honestly 99% of the effort went in
