Kick Assembler (C64), Version history
Version 1.3.2
- Fix: Changed default executable for run/debug, from
x64
tox64sc
.
In Vice 3.4x64
is no longer available, sox64sc
is used instead.
Version 1.3.1
- New feature: Segment support
- Using the new build annotations feature to configure which file/segment to start
- Use build annotation
startup-file
to configure startup file:// @kickass-build "file-to-run": "filename.prg"
- More on build annotations here
- If you use setting for custom
kickass_run_command_xx
orkickass_debug_command_xx
commands, you will need to update them to use this feature, since the way to describe the prg-file has changed - Issue #33 reported by Pontus Berg
Version 1.3.0
- New feature: Integrating the KickAss Tooltips pluign
Shows documentation when hovering over opcodes, vic-registers, sid-registers and some kick assembler directives. More documentation to come.
Thanks to @brushesm and @ogt2 for this. - New feature: Default commands for C64Debugger
Use of C64Debugger thru thekickass_run_path
orkickass_debug_path
settings
is now detected and a custom command is used to start C64Debugger.
The debug command will use symbols and breakpoints (4.x breakpoints) from Kick Assembler.
Thanks to @arekbr for suggestion and to @BroneCk for help implementing - New setting
kickass_env
to add environment variables when building
These variables has precedence over other environment variables with the same names. Mostly useful for prebuild, postbuild and make commands
Suggested by @og2t, details: #22 - A warning is now shown if settings cannot be loaded when a build is requested, asking the user to restart Sublime.
This should avoid some strange errors after updating, or switching between cloned and package control install modes. - New settings for detailed customization of compile, run and debug commands:
kickass_run_command_x64
kickass_debug_command_x64
kickass_debug_command_c64debugger
kickass_run_command_c64debugger
kickass_compile_args
kickass_compile_debug_additional_args
Hopefully I will write a more detailed blog post about this later.
Thanks to @arekbr for suggestion and to @BroneCk for help implementing - Verified basic Kick Assembler 5 support (Kick Assembler 4.x still supported)
Both old (break()
) and new (.break
) breakpoints can be used.
Using the default segment works, better support for multi segment things will be added later. - Minor bug fixes and improvements
Version 1.2.5
- Bug fix: Preferences and settings menus now works when package is installed thru Package Control.
Thanks Pontus Berg for reporting this - New Feature: Make command, assigned to key
F8
. Invokes a script calledmake.bat
/make.sh
.
Use settingdefault_make_path
for setting default make path,
make-scripts located in the current directory will take precedence,
but if not found the default path is also checked. No default value.
Suggested by Pontus Berg
Version 1.2.4
- Emergency release to fix serious bugs breaking the whole thing.
Version 1.2.3
- New setting
kickass_output_path
for setting output-folder, default isbin
- New setting

Default isSourceFile.prg

Thanks wizofwor for suggestion - Menu items for accessing settings and preferences
Can be found in menuPreferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeKickAssemblerC64
Thanks to brushesm - New Feature: Settings
default_prebuild_path
anddefault_postbuild_path

- Minor corrections and improvements of syntax coloring
Version 1.1.5
- Commandline argument confirmexit for Vice removed, since it seems to differ between confirmexit and confirmonexit in different versions/distributions of Vice. Instead, you can easily remove the confirm exit dialog by configuring the default setting for Vice. Thanks DannyCork, Muttley and Naali. Instead, you can easily remove the confirm exit dialog by configuring the default setting for Vice.
- Fixed a crash when staring debug without creating breakpoint file
Version 1.1.4
- Bug fix! Due to changes in Kick Assembler 4.10 the Build and Run and Build and Run Startup commands stopped working. This is now fixed.
Version 1.1.3
- Support for Kick Assembler 4.x (supports for Kick Assembler 3.x discontinued)
- Improved error detection. Can now detect several errors at the same time, and show error messages in code
- Support for new language features (syntax highlighting)
- Updated snippets
- Added filetypes .lib as expected filetype
Kick Assembler 3.x support?
In version1.1.3, Kick Assembler 3.x support is discontinued. However, if you for some reason need it, you can download the KickAssembler3x branch from GitHub, or download SublimeKickAssembler3xPackage.zip, and install it manually (see the detailed install guide here for tips).
Version 1.1.2
- Added filetypes .inc .s .a as expected filetypes
- Both breakpoints and labels to Vice for for build variants Build and Debug and Build and Debug startup
- Last version compatible with Kick Assembler 3.x
Version 1.1.0
- Support for Linux (tested on Ubuntu, install instruction here)
- Support for Sublime Text 2
- Fixed annoying extra indentation for some snippets
Version 1.0.3
- The Java CLASSPATH is used when running Kick Assembler, which means you can place the KickAss.jar file anywhere, as long as it exists in your CLASSPATH environment variable
- Small fixes in language-definition (syntax coloring)
- Version upped to 1.0, to indicate that all basic functionality is in there and that its fairly stable
A note about the CLASSPATH stuff is that the default paths is still used if KickAss.jar is not found in the CLASSPATH (default path for OSX is /Applications/KickAssembler/KickAss.jar, and for windows C:/C64/Tools/KickAssembler/KickAss.jar). For tips on how to set environment variables, like CLASSPATH, “permanently” on OSX, look here.
Version 0.7.0
- Bin-folder, all results of build (prg, symbols etc.) ends up in sub folder called bin
- Language-definition corrections:
- New: Support for char data type (coloring)
- Fix: Block comments on single line is now correctly colored
- Fix: !: labels are now correctly colored
- Fix: Coloring of List key word
- Fix: Coloring added for GREY/LIGHT_GREY/DARK_GREY color constants
- Fix: Various coloring issues when several commands are stacked on one line
If you use the breakpoint script form this post, it is wise to upgrade to the following, due to the addition of the bin-folder. The code works with older versions of the package too.
//---------------------------------------------------------- // Code for creating the breakpoint file sent to Vice. //---------------------------------------------------------- .var _useBinFolderForBreakpoints = cmdLineVars.get("usebin") == "true" .var _createDebugFiles = cmdLineVars.get("afo") == "true" .print "File creation " + [_createDebugFiles ? "enabled (creating breakpoint file)" : "disabled (no breakpoint file created)"] .var brkFile .if(_createDebugFiles) { .if(_useBinFolderForBreakpoints) .eval brkFile = createFile("bin/breakpoints.txt") else .eval brkFile = createFile("breakpoints.txt") } .macro break() { .if(_createDebugFiles) { .eval brkFile.writeln("break " + toHexString(*)) } } //------------------------------------------------------
