c64-tools

CI/CD templates for Commodore 64 (ACME + VICE) game projects, in the same spirit as tic80-tools.

• example-makefile.make — project Makefile: local dev targets (deps, build, run, clear, rebuild, rebuildrun) plus the Woodpecker pipeline targets (ci-version, ci-build, ci-artifact, ci-update).
• example-woodpecker.yaml — Woodpecker pipeline: version → build (Debian, apt install acme) → artifact (scp to the droparea) → update (calls the teletypegames /update endpoint with platform=c64).
• example-metadata.json — catalog metadata; the version field drives ci-version, the rest (name, title, author, desc, site, license) is what SoftwareUpdater::C64Service writes into the DB.
• example-tasks.json — VS Code .vscode/tasks.json wrapping the local make targets.

Usage in a game repo

1. Copy example-makefile.make to Makefile, set PROJECT (and TARGET if the .prg name differs from $(PROJECT).prg).
2. Copy example-metadata.json to metadata.json and fill it in; name must match PROJECT.
3. Copy example-woodpecker.yaml to .woodpecker.yaml and add the droparea_ssh_password / update_secret_key secrets in Woodpecker.
4. Copy example-tasks.json to .vscode/tasks.json.

The pipeline uploads $(PROJECT)-$(VERSION).prg and $(PROJECT)-$(VERSION).metadata.json to the droparea, then triggers /update?platform=c64&name=$(PROJECT)&version=$(VERSION), which creates/updates the Software row and a Release with cartridge_path.
