Title: Aros and AmosPro
Post by: gizz72 on May 27, 2011, 05:03:38 PM

Greetings,

 I'm just wondering if there's a similar programming language available on Aros, not C++ I'm more into Amospro. Something that may be a port or has similarities with AmosPro?

Thanks.

There's an interpreted BASIC called sdlBasic that is a little bit like Amos.  The C source is at http://www.sdlbasic.net/ (http://www.sdlbasic.net/) but somebody has done a port of the interpreter for AROS somewhere.  It's not showing up on my Googling.

It would be nice if someone would make a compiler that read a VB.Net solution and made an AROS executable... ;-)

Would be nice if somebody made a DotNet interpreter that converted DotNet code to work properly on MS Windows....

There is something. It's called Mono. Only drawback is that it's compiled for everything _except_ an Amiga-like OS. :)

I loved AMOS too and was looking for something for Microsoft OS. I found SDLBasic very similar to AMOS but has some latency issues for me. I've also wrote a few things using DarkBasic which has much quicker execution but took a bit more time to become acquainted with the different syntax. There is a free trial (basically free for personal use I believe) and recon it is worth a try.
