Learning how to Program the Amiga
« on: May 02, 2010, 04:07:33 PM »
I want to program the amiga in assembly and learn how to take advantage of the custom chip features. What should I get as far as learning material and software (the cheaper the better!) I have an amiga 500.
Once there was a man and a boy in the woods.
 
Boy: I\'m scared...
 
Man: Hah! What have you got to be afraid of? I\'m the one that\'s going to be coming back alone!

I only have workbench 1.3. Where can I find DevCD 2.1?

Yeah, I have amiga forever. I think I will buy that devcd as it includes everything which acutally is cheaper in the longrun than buying the books seperately. Thanks for the info!

I have Motorola MC68000 Family Programmer's Reference Manual provided by freescale. Is that enough. I don't have assembly experience, although I heard that if you want to learn assembly, the 68000 is the chip to learn it for (syntax much cleaner)

Is the rkm information pertinent to c? What compiler is included on the Devcd?
