Norecess, well known for his great utility and demo productions for the Amstrad CPC; has now his own homepage which you can access under http://norecess.cpcscene.net. This is a personal website where you will find all about his post, future and unreleased productions. Be sure to have a look at it!
Condense released a new demo for the Amstrad CPC. It is inspired by the Amiga demo “State of the Art”. You can download the DSK image from the CPCWiki or at the end of this posting – and don’t forget to vote for it on Pouet.
Here is the video of the demo, but be sure to watch it on the real hardware:
Right after the release of version 1.0, Norecess released a new bugfix version of his C compiler for the CPC and for PC. You can read more about it in my previous article about PhrozenC.
Here are the changes of the new version:
- CC (Win32) Fixed crash when included file does not exist
- Fixed crash when calling CC with a C file entirely created on a CPC
- Fixed CS RSX-command usage. Now only ROM-based, but 100% safe
- Updated documentation with compiler internal section
You can download the latest version from Sourceforge.
Arnaud Storq aka Norecess released the first version of his new C compiler for the Amstrad CPC. The compiler is available in different versions:
- a PC version for cross-development (command-line)
- a CPC ROM version (use that, if you can)
- a 64k CPC version (standalone, which resets after execution)
- a 128k CPC version (useable with RSX commands)
If you use the compiler on the PC, it will compile a .C file into an ASM file, which you can use e.g. in WinApe to compile it. On the CPC you can compile it with MAXAM.
PhrozenC also comes with a 33 page PDF manual, which covers how to use the compiler for your own programs. Examples are also included and some libraries for file management, graphics, memory mangement, string operations… are also available.
He also wants to improve the compiler, so send him your feedback :-).
