### What is EightBall?
EightBall is an interpreter for a novel structured programming language. It runs on a number of 6502-based vintage systems and may also be compiled as a 32 bit Linux executable.
### Supported Systems
The following 6502-based systems are currently supported:
* Apple II - EightBall runs under ProDOS and uses upper/lowercase text. It should run on 64K Apple IIe, IIc or IIgs. It can probably run on Apple II/II+ with an 80 column code, but this has not been tested.
* Commodore 64 - EightBall should run on any C64.
* Commodore VIC-20 - EightBall runs on a VIC-20 with 32K of additional RAM.
### Build Toolchain
I am building EightBall using cc65 v2.15 on Ubuntu Linux. Please let me know if you need help with compilation.
The Linux version of EightBall is currently being built using gcc 6.3.0.
