What makes fantasy consoles like PICO-8 or TIC-80 so interesting, is that they come with complete, integrated development environments, that not only allow you to write the actual program, but also provide a debugger, sprite editor, character editor, level designer and sound creation tool.

It would be nice, if there was something like that for Commodore machines, wouldn't it?

BAM!💥There is.

CBM prg Studio packages exactly the tools described above into a single Windows application. Arthur Jordison's masterpiece is not new, most might know it already. However, its current release 4.0 is relatively new and comes with quite a list of few new features.

If you've always wanted to get into real 6502 assembly programming on a CBM machine, but are a bit overwhelmed with Turbo Macro Pro and friends, CBM prg Studio is just the right tool for you. 

Unfortunately only for Windows, but hope dies last.
