The old great AMOS

[Steev]

I'd certainly be interested in the sources. Are you writing the converter in Java, too?

As my Java can not match my C++ abilities, would you be adverse to someone else creating a C-code generator on the backend?

Thanks,

Steev
p.s. I had this very idea earlier today and thanks to the power of the internet I found someone else who thought it a good idea too Dontyajustlove the net?!

Sidewinder and I (mostly Sidewinder) are working on an AMOS compatible compiler that uses a C compiler as a backend called Mattathias.  (Note the version on the website generates 68k assembler.)

Yep, I saw that! I'm not on my development machine at the mo so I've got no way of running it, but I've grabbed the source from CVS to have a poke around

There is an AMOS interpreter for SDL-based targets being worked on in C++ called Alvyn.

Yep, I saw that too! I'm still undecided whether the 'correct' way is to interpret the code at run-time, or generate code that is then compiled and run.

My current fascination, FWIW, is with Parrot, and I think there's mileage there.

Both projects are open-source and short on help so drop either party a line.  I'm sure your C++ knowledge will come in handy.

I will certainly do so, as I'm looking for a new project with which to start the new year!
