Optionally compress with exomizer; the CI's will use it. #9

Closed jepler closed 2 years ago

jepler commented 2 years ago

Compressed from 23035 -> 13307 bytes (-42%) in my testing.

This is cumulative with the Actions PR (#8).

mist64 commented 2 years ago

I'm not a fan of treating the D64 files the final build product. Yes, for testing in VICE, the Makefile needs to build a D64, but I'd rather just release PRG files when there is a release.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with this. :-)

jepler commented 2 years ago

OK, so you'd rather have .PRG as the main artifact? I'll revise it. I have to confess I don't really know how folks load software on their commodore 64s these days.

Why not skip the D64 with vice as well? This works for me with vice 3.5 (GTK3 3.24.24, GLib 2.66.7):

x64sc +truedrive +cart -acia1 -acia1base 0xDE00 -acia1irq 1 -acia1mode 1 -myaciadev 0 -rsdev1 localhost:25232 -rsdev1baud 9600 -autostart build/ccgmsterm.prg

(note disabling of true drive emulation)

or "-autostartprgmode 1" to "inject to RAM"

jepler commented 2 years ago

I went with -autostartprgmode 1. Updated this PR so that the artifacts zip contains prg files Screenshot_2022-02-27_11-20-15 and a test release also includes prg files and no d64 files image

+truedrive doesn't seem to be supported by the latest VICE, but with this removed, I get the app running with a disk image attached. I do need the disk, because the unit tests read and write files.
