Setup RetroGameDev “Racing Game” Lessons Development Environment

Setup RetroGameDev Environment on Windows 10

As you know,

I became a patreon myself of another content creator, that creator was Derek Morris (aka RetroGameDev).

Well he has started to publish his lessons to his patreons, so I thought it would be a good idea, to show how to set up the development environment required for this development series called “Racing Game”.

So Im taking a freshly created Windows 10 Virtual Machine to set this environment up, hopefully this helps my fellow patreons to establish your own environment based on what Im about to show you.

Setup RetroGameDev Environment on Linux Ubuntu

Now, You have seen that I have already done this for Windows 10, Im taking a freshly created Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine to set this environment up.

Adding GIT Source Control (Win 10 and Linux)

Now, I have done both the Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu Development Environments Videos.

I thought I would extend this video series to allow for other technologies and processes to allow us to code safely, So hear goes.

How to Set up GIT on your Dev Environment 😀

I start with setting up the windows environment, them move onto Linux @ around 12 min mark.

Any Feedback will be appreciated…. lol see if you can spot my mistake…..

Adding C64 Debugger (Win 10 and Linux)

When I uploaded the Linux Development Enviroment Video, I was asked if it was possible instead of using VICE, could C64Debugger be used instead.

So, I thought why not…

So here is a video showing you how to set to C64Debugger in both Windows 10 and Linux (@ 11 min mark).

So here is a video asked by you the viewers :).

Any Feedback will be appreciated…. lol see if you can spot my mistake….. i think there is a few 😮
