Quite confusing actually and hence not sure how to start. In particular, using a M1 and totally off even the Vice does not have a 64 content

Command needs to

• compile with acme
• crunch with pucrunch
• start the PRG with VICE

Just a quick question - I'm using a Mac and if I build a project which includes additional files through the use of !source then the working directory appears to be set to the project root directory and so doesn't find the additional files in the code directory. If I place the additional asm files in the root then everything works, but doesn't feel right. I've been trying to think of a neater solution but so far am not convinced of the best as they all look like compromises.

Am I missing a trick here ? I've never used ACME before (or any other C64 assembler since the 80s :-) ) I've found examples including library files using <> instead of "" .... but no explanation where ACME expects to find those files either. Maybe this is a bit niche to expect the internet to have all the answers for a change.

Many thanks for letting me relive some teenage fun ... I just wish I was still full of the same blind ambition I had back then.

I'm using this on MacOS Monterey. When it tries to open Vice and run the moncommands, it fails with the following error messages:

Opening monitor command playback file: labels
Error - Failed to open playback file: labels
Argument 'labels' not valid for option `-moncommands'.
Error parsing command-line options, bailing out. For help use '-help'

From the documentation, it looks like -moncommands expects a file containing monitor commands. Instead this template passes the labels and assembly output which don't seem to be recognized by -moncommands.

Is there something else I need to pass?

I have download 'acme-assembly-vscode-template-master',
also VICE 3.4 (from: https://vice-emu.sourceforge.io/index.html#download)
and excracted the files into C:\tools\vice
also I did download the Acme Cross Assembler extension for VSCode,
after all of that I tried to run the main.asm
but it's showed this error:

> Executing task: bin\win\acme -f cbm -l build/labels -o build/main.prg code/main.asm && C:/tools/vice/x64.exe -moncommands build/labels build/main.prg <

I changed && to -and but it's didn't work either...

Hey I'm rather new to learning 6502, but I'm not finding any info for the opcode !scr on line 79? Is there something I'm issing?
