With the Apple // and NES ports of my toy language SLORTH! working well, I was thinking about C64 and Atari 800 versions. AFAICT, neither of those support regular normal ASCII without a bunch of extra effort. >_< Lower case?! Psh!
I thought maybe I could dive right into new platforms, but I might need to do some research first. I have a broken C64 in my basement that's never been powered on. I did have an Atari 800 as a kid in the 90's, but don't remember much about it. Certainly no asm...
