They can have periods in them, so they can even vaguely resemble object field accessors. Long variables are actually namespaces that work for strings, floats, or ints. Your source files must not use line numbers.

This script runs best on a UNIX or (perhaps) a Windows environment. This is a dev tool for people who write things in BASIC, but write it off-board, and like to have some more modern features. Scott's dev tool prompted me to post this one. Have fun with VolksForth the VolksForth Team We are planning to provide future versions with englisch documentation) (most of the Information is still in german.

#PYXEL EDIT PALETTE PLUS#
VolksForth 6502 (Commodore 64, Commodore Plus 4, Commander X16, Apple 1, Apple ][, Atari XL/XE) Version 3.8.x is based on the Forth 83 standard, Version 4.00 will be based on the current 2012 Standard ().Īt this time VolksForth is available for this Systems: Version 3.9.x will be interim versions on the way to sync all VolksForth targets and move towards compliance with the 2012 Forth standard. The current Version of VolksForth is 3.81. Some modern Forth Systems were influenced by or were derived from VolksForth (GNU-Forth, bigForth). The VolksForth Project was revived in 2005 with the goal to produce a managable Forthsystem for computer systems with restricted system resources. Major development of this system was done between 1985 until 1989. VolksForth is a 16bit Forth System produced by the German Forth Gesellschaft e.V. Here is a super simple example called SIMPLE.BPP.Īn animated GIF demonstrates the process of using the program. The tokenized form is written to the output PRG file. In order for BPP.PRG to create tokenized BASIC programs, it has a small machine language routine in golden RAM that converts from plain text to tokenized form. Normally as you enter lines of BASIC the computer will translate them into a compressed tokenized form, and this is necessary for the programs to be usable. The one exception has to do with tokenization. The program is written almost completely in BASIC. The preprocessor (probably) requires an emulator built from the master github branch.
#PYXEL EDIT PALETTE CODE#
Much as strings begin and end with a quotation mark ("), macro constructs begin and end with a commercial at sign This means that you cannot include in a macro, but otherwise any character may be used.Ī label can be defined on a line by itself as label can be referenced after a GOTO or GOSUB as (including ON statements).Ī long variable name can be used as preprocessed comment can be used as whatever text you want These comments are not written to the PRG file.Īny leading whitespace on a line is removed before writing the code to the PRG file. BASIC PREPROCESSOR allows one to create Commodore BASIC programs with a normal text editor without line numbers.
