PhrozenC v1.0 is a K&R C compiler (Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan, it's not ANSI C) for Amstrad CPC and PC by NoRecess. On PC it compiles a .C file in .ASM ready to compile with WinAPE. On CPC the .ASM file can be compiled with Maxam.

The source code of PhrozenC is available on Bitbucket.

For Amstrad CPC it exists a ROM version (prefer this version), a 64 Kb version (stand-alone application) and 128 Ko version (RSX).

PhrozenC is released with a PDF manual covering all the things you have to know about to start programming using PhrozenC.

There is even a small tutorial about learning C for the newcomers. Example sources are available, as also a small set of library files handling file management, graphics, memory management, string concatenation, etc...

SugarDS v1.0 is an Amstrad CPC emulator for Nintendo DS and DSi by Nige Rideout (github). This version features :

• Improved Z80 / CRTC timing so more games run more correctly.
• Improved Mode 2 rendering so it's a little better positioned 'compressed' on the DS screen.
• Improved default key mapping that maps Y button to Joystick Fire 2 (used by many homebrews).
• Another round of improvements for FDC handling of two-sided disks. Orion Prime no longer warns of disk issues, Batman Forever 3.5" loads.
• Fixed the sound mute handler so that there are less frequent pops/clicks when loading up new games.
• Improved auto-load detection - more disks load the correct file more often.
• Lots of small cleanups and commenting of the code.

And if you are curious and you go check his Github profile, you will see that he has written several other emulators for Nintendo DS and DSi.

Génération Micros has interviewed Patrick MONTHIER who wrote the Amstrad CPC adventure game Firescape in 1987 when he was 18 years old. One year before, he got a monochrome Amstrad CPC 464. Firescape was written in Locomotive basic in about one summer (about 2-3 months), alone (coding and testing). In the game you are inside an hotel which is burning and you have to get out, quick.
