Kick Assembler is probably the most powerful and sexy assembler I have ever seen.
Basically it is using Java as a script engine on top of a full cross assembler which is insanely original. It allows coders to not only write code but manipulate data from the assembler instead of having to write little mini tools which generate data sets and then linking them all at the end.
You can tell this tool is developed by demo coders, it has native PSID support and other great features specifically for the Commodore. All the better!
I was inspired to write an IDE for this fantastic tool. Need to see if there is one out there already. I JUST LOVE THIS THING!

Thank.
Let me know if you need any assistance to making an IDE

Hi Joe,
I contacted Mads today because I recently switched from C++ to Java and am trying to re-write my programmes from the scratch. In this case, I asked Mads what he thinks about “integrating” Kick Assembler and my old “IDE” for C64 cross assemblers (Relaunch 64, see website), which I want to write in Java now. Then I found this blog posting and saw, you had a very similar idea. Now, how far are your plans currently realized? I don’t think the work has to be done twice.
