Amiga and Atari ST programming, right in your web browser! (See What’s New)


Amiga and ST fans have been asking when I would be adding 16-bit support to the online retro IDE since the beginning, so I am relieved to be able to announce they are in place and ready to use, finally!

Not only are they supported, but you get AMOS/STOS BASIC, VBCC for C programming, and also TRSE, all right in your web browser with nothing to download, install, or configure πŸ₯³

8-bit systems were not neglected either, Commodore 128, Plus/4, Nintendo Gameboy, MSX2, Amstrad CPC 464, Atari 800 XL, all got added for the first time!

Check out the announcements and demo code in the links below, and as always let me know your thoughts in the community ...
