Commodore 64 Bootstrap Theme

This is a website theme based off of the look and feel of the C64 personal computer from the 1980s.

Getting the fonts

The C64 fonts used in this theme can be downloaded from: [http://style64.org/c64-truetype]. They will not be packaged herein due to licensing and respect for the font creator.

See it in action

The full theme can be seen in action here [http://danielgranttaylor.com]. The initial typing animation can be achieved by adding the typing class to the load line, with the run class being added to the run line.

Keyboard Operated Menus

The C64 menu script allows the site visitors to use the keyboard to access menu links and dropdowns.

Requirements

1. JQuery 1.11.1
2. Bootstrap

Creation

Create a default bootstrap menu navbar, with the following adaptations:

1. Include the c64menu.min.js script in your HTML file.
2. To create a link which can be operated with a button press, set the name value of the anchor tag to be the letter to use to activate it.
3. To create a dropdown menu which can be operated with a button press, set the name value of the list item tag to be the letter to use to activate it.
4. Each letter can be used once per sub-menu. This means there are 36 possible entries for the top menu, and for each dropdown menu.
5. To highlight the selector for the menu, surround the character with a <span class="indicator"&gt tag.
6. Each menu entry which can be activated MUST have a level attribute >= 1.
7. Each menu entry other than the root, should have a parent attribute which matches the ID of the parent tag.
8. Create a MenuManager instance, passing in the name of your root menu list.
9. Add the MenuManager.keyHandler function as a keyup handler to the $(document).

Example

There is an example of the keyboard activated menu in the examples/keyboard.html file.
