Hello, my name is Tom!

I have already introduced myself in the introduce yourself thread.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1935&start=615 (page 42)

Well, I don't know when I'll lose interest in this project again, but I want to at least share what I have so far with the community.
It's called MACRO HLA BASIC and is a macro collection for the C64 (in a broader sense of course basically for the 6502).

It is extremely inspired at Garth Wilson's work in the same direction:

Thanks for these ideas and groundwork, Garth!

Also inspired by the language "QUICK" for the ATARI 8-bit line of home computers too:

Have fun with my project.

Not sure how much this is of interest, but I've added tons of documentation to the wiki.
As I said, it's kind of meant to be a (tiny) BASIC like language with the possibility to program assembler. Basic knowledge of assembler is absolutely necessary to do anything with it, in my opinion.

Besides, it is a learning experience for myself. I have been dealing with the topic of how high-level language structures are implemented in assembly (compiler construction) for a long time, of course on a hobby level, nothing professional.

Kind regards, Tom

There may of course be mistakes and also nonsense

Edit:
I should also note, this is a work in progress, not a finished project (which it probably never will be). So things could change and/or still be undocumented.
Some wiki pages or files could also be mere stubs, empty or half-finished placeholders.

Thanks for sharing. I'm not in a position to investigate right now, but at a glance it looks like a nice labor of love.

Thank you, Mike, for the encouragement.

Edit:
How did you find the permanent link of your self-description (about me)? I would also like to put something like that in my signature.

It's hiding in here (sorry about the awful free-hand "arrow"):

Thank you very much
