Looking for development tools
Hi there,
I am looking for some development tools but did not find what I am looking for.
I want an assembler for Z80 / ZX81 used under WIN (a small IDE with some comfortable editor).
And I am looking for something putting .p program files to ZX81 via soundcard of PC (WIN).
So I did not find any comfortable tools in the internet.
What are you using ?
Only command line tools ?
Any integrated development system for SINCLAIR (ZX81 and/or ZX Spectrum) ?
Even about Z88dk I was a bit disappointed.
So what are you using or what can you propose ?

I'm not a Windows user so I can be of limited help only, but I can point you to http://www.microwave.gr/giannopk/zxcomp ... _v0_04.zip for a Windows tool to convert from .P or .O to .WAV, which will get you to the sound card.
Re: Looking for development tools
I don't believe there is any integrated ZX81 (or Spectrum) development tool.
Personally I use the Pasmo Z80 assembler, linked to Crimson Editor as my code editor, and No$ZX81 emulator to test within (boots far faster than EightyOne, and the debugger works). I don't use the Z88dk tools, but write all my own bespoke code.

Re: Looking for development tools
Since I am developping while on a traintrip I use a ZX Spectrum emulator (under Linux) or a ZX Spectrum emulator (under Windows) at home.
On the emulator I compile with Tornado.
I only export the binairy to EigtyOne and presto

that helped, thank you.

And how do you write your code and how do you compile it ?dr beep wrote:Since I am developping while on a traintrip I use a ZX Spectrum emulator (under Linux) or a ZX Spectrum emulator (under Windows) at home.

Well, looks like we have a new project.bobs wrote:I don't believe there is any integrated ZX81 (or Spectrum) development tool.
Maybe I also plan to integrate ZX81 BASIC to write with.
Would be a nice tool.
And integrate the loader for a real ZX81 load/save interface.

There is a nice IDE for the ZX Spectrum named "TommyGun": http://www.users.on.net/~tonyt73/TommyGun/

Maybe you could integrate support for B0D0's Load/Save?PokeMon wrote:And integrate the loader for a real ZX81 load/save interface.
Its a very reliable interface for the serial port to mic/ear of the zeddy supporting both directions. Well documented as well.
As many users need an interface to amplify the soundcard output this may be an alternative.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

Tornado is an assembler for the ZX Spectrum.PokeMon wrote:And how do you write your code and how do you compile it ?dr beep wrote:Since I am developping while on a traintrip I use a ZX Spectrum emulator (under Linux) or a ZX Spectrum emulator (under Windows) at home.

It has a 64 column texteditor.
I write the full code in it and compile it on the Spectrum emulator.
The binary code it creates is exported to a .P and loaded into the ZX81 (-emulator).
