Does anyone have an install for sas/c for the amiga?

prowler · 03 February 2010, 23:57

Yes, I'll upload them for you.

Thank you

Okay, SAS/C 6.50 disks, patches and manuals (in text format) are in the Zone for you!

PS. SAS C 6.58 has a Y2K bug. This additional patch from Aminet will fix it:

@TP

Are you making any progress yet?

Havent gotten too much done over the last couple of weeks, just messing around with different compilers. Trying to find one i can figure out how to work >.<

Haven't put too much time in to it tbh, ive had other projects to get out of the way that were due recently. Im hoping to put to get loads done over the next few weeks

What compilers and IDEs are you used to? There's no equivalent to XCode, Visual Studio, Eclipse etc. on the Amiga. The closest thing to an IDE I can remember seeing is HiSoft C++ which had an editor with integrated project folder and compiler controls, but it was a far cry from what you can find for PCs today.

At some point you'll probably have to get used to running the tools from command line or better yet a script, and if you've been using GCC like this previously then you can find that for the Amiga as well, or VBCC which adopts some of GCC's command line options and is also easy to work with.

@Leffmann

The newer versions of StormC are very similar to HisoftC++

Even has colour coded syntax in the editor

I have SAS/C working fine, I also figured out that the reson Dice wouldnt work for me was that i was supposed to make assigns and an enviroment variable or two, not entirely sure how to do this, but i will stick with sas/c as i have it working

@Dave G
Could you get the tutorial in GameSmith to run straight off for you, or did you have to change anything to get it to compile?

Tiddlypeeps · 07 February 2010, 20:15

Can anyone tell me how to link a .lib file with a c project using sas/c?

Leffmann · 07 February 2010, 22:51

Click the SCOptions icon in your project directory --> Linker Options --> Libraries/Objects Add.

davideo · 07 February 2010, 22:52

@TP

Time for you to earn your Miggy experience badges

If you unpack the attached tutorial.zip file into the gamesmith drawer it will replace a couple of errors in the original tutorial.

You need SAS set up. I used version 6.5 for this example.

If all the paths are set up correctly it should work by the following method.

Open a CLI and change to the tutorial directory

Type in

SC Battle2.c

Then

Slink with battle2.link

then

Battle2

will run the program

There may be an easier way to compile and link in one go but this worked for me

Thanks a mill!
That worked straight off

davideo · 07 February 2010, 23:16

Time for you to get some serious coding done now then

I dont suppose you know any good software for editing images that work with GameSmith?

I looked up a few on google but there seems to be a good few different .pic formats and none that i have found work with gamesmith.

davideo · 08 February 2010, 00:32

The images that work with Citas are standard Amiga IFFs.

So Deluxe Paint or something similair will help you.

Gamesmith assumes all images have been created with Citas.

Citas as well as saving the images in the right format also creates the correct information for the collision tables for Gamesmith to handle.

To be honest "images" has been my let down so far in the fact that you really need to be an artist.

So to recap - Images are created in Deluxe Paint, saved and loaded into Citas which then saves them with extra information to be included within your C program and then utilised by the Gamesmith routines you include in your source.

You could always pinch somebody elses graphics. See this thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=26461
