I intend to port fbcc so that it generates code for third and hence runs a subset of C on the processor. This is important for two reasons: firstly I need a fairly-complete language to know that I have an efficient processor; and secondly because it's a small example of how compilers work. Then it would be good to get TCC going (or maybe LCC or PCC) And of course port the ncurses bsdgames. OLD NOTES FROM HERE ONWARDS I'm currently looking at BASIC because of it's retro heritage - it's the language all my first micros came with. What's more, http://home.vianetworks.nl/users/mhx/basic.html claims to be a BASIC interpreter written in forth. I have yet to try it out. If I can make it work then I'm happy, if not then there is much to do in this section. Here are my thoughts on C compilers:
The intention is that there is a job queue and a web cam, with jobs being submitted remotely and the job owners being able to see step-by-step execution of the jobs, including the exact machine state via the LEDs.
