Description:
|
ACE is a FreeWare Amiga BASIC compiler which, in conjunction
with A68K and Blink produces standalone executables.
The language defines a large subset of AmigaBASIC but also has
many features not found in the latter such as: turtle graphics,
recursion, SUBs with return values, structures, arguments,
include files, a better WAVE command which allows for large
waveforms, external references, named constants and a variety
of other commands and functions not found in AmigaBASIC.

Conformance:
|
Follows AmigaBASIC fairly closely with most differences being
minor. Many extra features have been added however. Major
AmigaBASIC features yet to be implemented: double-precision
floating point math, random files, sprites.

Portability:

ACE is targetted at the Amiga but many generic BASIC
programs will compile with little or no change.
