RISC OS?


Back to my own Playground, just for fun ;)

RISCOS_Archi_Frodo.png

"Maniac Mansion" in "Frodo" in "!Archi" in "RISC OS port" in Debian...

RISCOS_Archi_MSX.png

"Kings Valley" in "fMSX" in "!Archi" in "RISC OS port" in Debian...

Emulate the emulator in an executable :D

Serious applications also work. Screenshots are follow soon.
 
Techwriter... more or less Word and OpenOffice compatible...

Copernicus...

Maybe more is coming soon ...
 
Last but not least... programming.
I'm not a programmer. I play around for myself.

A lot of Apps in RISC OS are written in BBC Basic with inline assembler, if needed. Is "build in" in RISC OS.
For C (C++) official and commercial is the Desktop Development Environment suite. You can buy at ROOL.
For free you can download GCC via PackMan.
There is not a real development environment with editor, debugger etc.
With StrongED (my favorite) and Zap are two very good editor available for free. Any debugger for free and commercial also ...

GCC vs. DDE

GCC is pure and you can compile via obey or makefile, DDE has a small frontends for different things.

C vs. Basic
Pi_C_Bas.png

"Same" program in C and in Basic. Gives the result of Pi for N% digits. My first try was round about 1992 on MSX-Basic.
Needs two days for max 255 (?) digits. More was possible but the memory runs out.

The Pi App...

Calculate Pi is in C, the frontend and the search routine for the Feyman points is Basic. Output is the TaskWindow (comparable with the Terminal in Linux).

Other programming languages like Python or Lua available for free.
