8BP v030, a RSX library to create Amstrad CPC games in Basic, and a new 8bp game

-

Jose Javier Garcia Aranda has written a new version of 8BP v30 (8bits de poder : 8bits of power), a RSX library to write Amstrad CPC games in basic (26 Kb max). You can download 8bp on github.

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables is the last game programmed with 8BP and showed at the RetroMadrid 2017 meeting.





Vasm v1.7h, a portable and retargetable assembler, can compile Z80 assembler, but not only

  • AmigaOS 68020
  • Atari MiNT 68020
  • MorphOS

  • Atari TOS 68000
  • WarpOS

And of course, it can compile Z80 assembler, but it's not the only processor it can manage.




CPC Basic 3, an IDE for writing locomotive basic programs and compiles them in Z80 asm

-

CPC Basic 3 is an integrated environment for developing programs for Amstrad CPC. It works on Windows, Linux (Mono) and Mac OS (Wine).

CPC Basic function is to allow input and editing a program and compile it to to generate the necessary machine code and run it on a Amstrad CPC computer or an emulator.

Programs are written in Basic language based on Locomotive Basic with a number of differences required because it is a compiler and optimize the speed of code produced.
