I would be interested in porting the GNU/DJGPP compiler to Z80. If it were
done right, you could have it compile the same C/C++ program for the 82, 83,
85, 86, and your PC (maybe 92, if someone wants to do the 68000 code). A set
of libraries could be written for all 4 calcs, and a set for the PC. That
would allow you to run your program on your computer and see exactly how it
will look on the calc, with out having to transfer it to the calc, watching
it crash, etc. This would also allow for anyone with knowledge of C/C++ to
write a game for any calc, with a set of standards. I will help with porting
the compiler, and writting the libraries for the PC. There are differences
in the calcs, (like screen size), but that's what the libraries are for.
Call one function, the compiler picks the right one for the target calc (or
pc). Does any one want to help with this, like the Z80 compiler and
optimizer (Dan?)? This will greatly increase the number of programs for all
calcs, and open up programming to many more people.
