READ MOREAtari Basic Compiler. Monarch Data Systems has introduced ABC, a BASIC compiler for the Atari that translates BASIC programs into integer P-code that runs up to 12 times faster than the original.. The program allows compiled programs to run without the BASIC cartridge, allows larger arrays, accepts most BASIC programs with little modification,
READ MOREIt was also upwardly compatible with Atari BASIC. I used this one after Atari BASIC. A primary limitation was no compiler. Here is a review of BASIC XL from Antic magazine (1984). ROM files and the extensions as ATR files can be found on Atari Wiki. The cartridges can be found on eBay but are often expensive at $50-$100 or more.

READ MOREToday (Feb/27/2024) I started working on a BASIC compiler for Colecovision. So far I''ve managed to get ready a core set of statements and features with a non-optimized expression compiler. I expect to release an alpha version as soon as I develop the statements for controller handling, displaying numbers, sound, and make some example games.

READ MOREWhen I was researching the Turbo Basic compiler, I kept coming upon a couple German articles about it by Frank Ostrowski, published in the Happy Computer magazine. I wondered if there was any good information in them on what works well with the compiler, and what doesn''t. Side note: The scans are from an "Atari Special Issue" of
READ MOREIt is my hope that folks will use this BASIC as a stepping stone to serious 2600/6502 programming, much like some of us did in the past on our C-64''s, Apples or Atari 8-bits. Since it generates meaningful assemblies instead of binaries, I think this is likely, or at least I remain hopeful.

READ MOREI''m aware that Turbo BASIC has a compiler, but I know of at least two for Atari BASIC, namely MMG BASIC Compiler and ABC BASIC Compiler. As always, it depends on what you want. The TurboBasic compiler has a couple of issues and requires the turbo basic runtime to launch the crated binaries. The MMG and ABC compilers
READ MOREFastBasic is one of the newest BASICs for the Atari 8-bit platform. It is a complete re-implementation of the BASIC system, using a built-in bytecode compiler rather than a tokenizing interpreter. Typical BASICs use an interpreter that examines every line of code as the program runs. They do this because it minimizes the amount of RAM used

Around 2001 François Lionet released via the Clickteam website the source code of

READ MORECompiling a batari BASIC program is actually a four-step process. First, the batari BASIC program listing runs through a preprocessor, then it''s passed to the batari BASIC compiler, which converts it into a 6502 assembly language source file. This assembly file is linked to other assembly files to create a single composite assembly file.
