Any of you Coding on Amiga?

[Amiga Forever]

IF yes and what you coding on?

[killergorilla]

No.

[phx]

For the Amiga: yes. Various development tools and game-ports, for example.
On the (classic) Amiga: unfortunately not much during the last six years. I'm using a Pegasos2 and several NetBSD-based machines to cross-compile.

I would love to spend some weeks on doing an A500/OCS game in plain assembler, as in the good old times. Unfortunately the summer holidays are already over again.

[r0ber7]

Yes, Blitz2. Working on a game, slowly, but steadily.

[Photon]

Yes. I keep on coding Assembler for the OCS/1MB platform until further notice...

[Coagulus]

I've loaded Blitz on WinUAE and had a play, maybe I'll get further than when I had it on my A1200!

[Lonewolf10]

Still working on a demo I started last October, plus a few AMOS projects that are currently on pause (I will go back to them eventually).

Yes, WinUAE, SAS/C using my own enviroment and function library. My latest project is a program that allows me to plot and analyze data. I've been studying the Dow Jones from 1928 to present, and hurricane data from 1855 to present.

Both are very interesting.

[Minuous]

Yes, the programs are listed on my page at http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/

[Samurai_Crow]

Yes. AmigaE-based adventure game maker module. Also a nice reusable hash table for use with AmigaE someday.

[NovaCoder]

I coded a port of DOTT in C++ on my 030 1200 using StormC V4 (gcc compiler) but it was very slow to compile. When I started porting the latest version of ScummVM over to 68k I found that it just wasn't practical to code on a real Amiga and StormC couldn't cut it either (not even under WinUAE).

I also tried CubicIDE but couldn't get the results I wanted so I had to swap to AmiDevCPP running on a Windows box. AmiDevCPP has lots of issues (eg no debugger and strange bugs in my code) but it seems to be the best option for me.

I might go back to CubicIDE for some non-gcc development.

[TheDarkCoder]

Unfortunately, no


I am too dumb to code

[Thorham]

Yes, but only in assembly language.

Then do it in 680x0 assembly language, the language of Real Men

I'm a little girl so I'd better stick with C++

LOL C++ is easier than Asm!

Hmmmm... That's a matter of opinion I'd say.

In answer to the thread original thread question: yes, various things.

[weiju]

Yes, I just started to pick it up again, after finally getting a hold of a system that has enough memory and a hard disk (A 1200). I used to program it in assembly and C/C++ in the 80's and 90's and plan on doing that again and maybe sprinkle in a little Lisp/Scheme if possible.
I plan to code little a couple of small utilities to re-familiarize myself and then see. I would love to do development on my Mac and test/deploy on the Amiga.

[Photon]

All my efforts are turned towards the OCS/1MB Memory platform. Choose the right tools, and there is no problem at all coding on that platform, even with just an extra floppy drive. Of course you can have as much fastram and harddisks you want on OCS/1MB as on A1200.

Just picked up on the combination of 'enough memory/harddisk'. That's no trouble at all, really, on any Amiga. Sounds more like an excuse

And don't code on Mac. Learn to code on Amiga. It'll be faster and it's actually lovely, if you stay away from Lisp/Scheme.

Ahem, my previous configuration until recently was an A1000 with 256K, but if you include that within the set of "any Amiga"...
With this little memory I was even in doubt whether I would be able to use Devpac in a reasonable way.
Of course I found out that UAE eliminates most limits, but it's not quite the same.

I am just getting back into programming on the Amiga after 16 years, so I will have to find out what works and what not. I assume that most people here have more recent experience with it than me. In a couple of month/years maybe I'll probably come to the same conclusion, but currently I am kind of trying out the different Amiga/WinUAE/E-UAE environments.

Thanks for your comments.

In my humble opinion, developing on a real Amiga can get expensive. While with UAE everything is free (obligatory donation apart ^_^), we are spoiled by years of big screens and machine responsiveness, you'll end up needing a dedicated LCD screen (which is cheap) but in addition you'll want a scandoubler/flickerfixer card to use it (and that is where the trouble starts), but you can't code in 640x256, right? So you'll need a new graphic card to allow higher resolutions.
It's easy to end cashing out 200/300 euros for staying comfortable at the screen...
