This is a simple Integrated Development Environment for assembler (and, to the limited extent, BASIC) programming for ZX Spectrum.
It includes its own assembler to provide advanced debugging and code browsing facilities.
Simple code editor, graphic editor and level editor are provided by the IDE.
Lua scripts can be run during compilation to preprocess or generate code and data.
Compiler for BASIC code (based on bas2tape) and audio file generator (based on tape2wav) are also included.
NOTE: this software is of alpha quality. Expect bugs and make frequent backups of your projects! If you find any bugs please report them through the GitHub issue system.
You will need CMake and Qt 5. Any decent compiler supporting C++17 should work. Author uses CMake 3.15.1 with Visual Studio Community 2017 and Qt 5.13.0 on Windows 10 as the primary development environment. Also periodically the code is tested for compilability on MacOS and Linux. YMMV. Please create a GitHub issue if you have problems compiling the code.
On Linux you may also need to install ALSA and PulseAudio development packages. All other libraries are included alongside the project.
Just use the normal CMake flow for compilation. Depending on your system configuration you could have to
specify path to the Qt distribution. For example, the following commands will create a Visual Studio 2017
project if Qt is installed at C:\Qt\5.13.0:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Qt/5.13.0/msvc2017_64 ..
For Linux and Mac OS it is the same, but in those cases the generator should be Unix Makefiles or Xcode.
Also specifying CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is usually not required for those operating systems.
For more information please consult CMake documentation.
You can find documentation in the doc directory in the repository in the Markdown format. The exact same
documentation is also available from the Help menu in the IDE.
Some examples are provided in the doc/examples directory.
