![]() ![]() One thing that is very neat with AmiBlitz and Pure Basic, is that u can use assembler straight up in your Basic program. Dunno if they support structures and assembler. Sorry that I don't mention GFA Basic, HiSoft Basic, but I think they are out of age, so to speak. There are free test versions to download to try this Basic out before buying, and if one is to just see if Basic is something to use in the future.īut atm, from what's available for Classic, I would choose between AmiBlitz, Amos Professional and Pure Basic. :( *hiding in the shadows, defending myself with trying to make the amigaversion more popular*) I have even donated a little to show my appriciation for the project. The great thing is that I bought this Basic in 2000 or smthn for the Amiga, but I'm entitled to every new version to any new platform for the rest of my life. If only more Amigans would register, maybe that the Amiga version would develop to PPC and maybe even 3D. The Windows and Linux version are at version 4.01 atm and features a lot of fun stuff. It's available for Amiga (68k), Windows (x86), Linux (x86) and MacOS (PPC). It had a lot of potential, but with very weak support the Amiga version has stalled its progress towards new techniques like PPC and 3D. It's a good and structured Basic, very much like AmiBlitz. It was developed until 2002 or smthng, and is at version 2.9? smthn atm. But, I think that executables made in Amos Proffesional are fine.įinally, I have one Basic to mention that I havn't seen yet in this thread. I have allways problems with programs made in Amos - they doesn't start on my Amigas. It allows you to make programs system friendly. The only version of Amos I think is really good, is Amos Professional. It's even possible to imitate features from object oriented languages, like C++, Java and Ada, but not fully in any way. ![]() This Basic is not even closely like the old Basics, since it handles structures and procedures and other stuff, like c-compilers. The coninuation of Blitz Basic on the Amiga, is AmiBlitz, which is bettter and free. It's not supported since long time and is nowdays only available under Windows with a few different names for a little different approaches. A bit later then that I used Dice (a c-compiler).Īfter that I think I started using Blitz Basic 1.? and continued with Blitz until the last version. Then I started using HiSoft DevPac (for assembler). I learned how to use the Amiga libraries with Amiga Basic. On the Amiga, I started with Amiga Basic and later I compiled my programs with ACE compiler. I tried a couple of other languages too, like forth among a few others. Later I used Machine lightning and Basic lightning. What programming language do you advise me to learn? Can I use general programming books, even when I plan to program for the Amiga, or do I have to look for old Amiga programming books? I will use an old Amiga 500 which has a harddisk and accelerator expansion for programming. I don't expect to write an advanced computer program soon, but writing some small utilities or tools would be great. ![]() I wish to learn a programming language and practice my new experience on the Amiga. I have seen that a lot of Amiga developers joined this internet forum, so it could be the right place to ask you for advice: I did not really enjoy this programming language and I am not even sure if it is available for the Amiga. Some years ago, I participated in a Java course at an adult education program. No surprise, it is from the Microsoft Corporation! I did not like Amiga Basic so much, it was very buggy. The only experience I have is some Amiga Basic from a long time ago. I am a complete beginner in programming Amiga computers.
