I've used High Speed Pascal on the Amiga. It is a nice tool.
I believe C will be more up to date, as it is a standard for programming today

Start by eating Piru. If you intake enough of him, his coding skills should be absorbed into your body.



Plus, I hear he's *REALLY* good with ketchup!

@Methuselas
lol sorry i'm a bit picky with my food. as much as it would be cool (and dangerous) for the human race to maintain skills that way, i only eat members of the opposit sex... badoom tish! :-D

and anyway, how do you mean you "hear" he is very good with ketchup? you know someone who has had a bit of a munch already? *backing away slowly* :lol:

@Chrome
assembly is my goal  :-)  :crazy:

yup, we did that in my CS classes, to the point where we were taking exam questions in floating point binary. how many bits was the mantissa? is it BCD or pure? happy days. not!


LOL, Yup, just had that *fun* experience. I get my results (A-Level) today for all that...

... I must be a real nerd though, I actually thought it was quite interesting and ended up writing a machine code interpreter/emulator...  :-P

Never got round to adding 6502 instructions, I could expand it though. I basically wrote it because the software college used was like $199 (£100) and it was like a Windows 3.1 app  :roll:

good luck with your results! nice to hear that college computing courses still haven't moved on from when i was learing borland pascal on RM nimbus 80186's and if you were quick enough, on super wizzy 14Mhz 286's! wooo!
unfortunaly, i ploughed all my effort in my final year project into pascal coding, library development, and optimising, what i should have done was fleshed out the design and implementation. lots of paperwork and user meetings and acceptance testing. bleh!
so predictably EPIC FAIL. :lol:
so instead of computing and statistics and a place on the rugby team at Bath Uni, i landed at Manchester Metropolitan for a year of advanced drinking and kebab eating, erm, i mean, foundation comp. sci. i ended up teaching some of the labs before dropping out into the real world(tm). i think it worked out for the best... :-)

how about an Amiga emulator for Cuda? :lol: and run storm C on that?
or how about a P96 or CyberGFX driver for the PCI based 8600? maybe Cuda on amiga? :crazy:

I was actually thinking more along the lines of a CUDA based software synthesizer...

@darksun

If you want to learn Amiga coding, then I can sell you the complete set of Commodore-Amiga ROM Kernel Reference manuals.

Every book from all three editions.

Also the Lattice C User Guide, Utilities, Commands, Editor, Debugger, Library Reference and Master Index ring bound manuals.

The Commodore-Amiga AmigaDOS Manual 2nd Edition.

PM me if you are interested.

I was quite pleased with the tutorials in Tandem, re: assembly.
