Millfork

A middle-level programming language targeting 6502-based, 8080-based and Z80-based microcomputers.

For binary releases, see: https://github.com/KarolS/millfork/releases (latest: 0.3.2)

Features

  • high performance, due to being designed and optimized for 8-bit microprocessors

  • multiple targets:

    • Commodore 64 (the primary target)

    • Commodore 64 with SuperCPU (experimental, incomplete and very buggy)

    • other Commodore computers: C16, Plus/4, C128, PET, VIC-20 (stock or with RAM extensions)

    • Famicom/NES (the second most important target)

    • Atari 8-bit computers

    • BBC Micro

    • Apple II+/IIe/Enhanced IIe

    • ZX Spectrum 48k

    • NEC PC-88

    • Amstrad CPC

    • CP/M

    • Atari 2600 (experimental)

    • Game Boy (experimental)

  • inline assembly

  • simple macros

  • pay only for what you use: not a single byte of memory is used unless for code or explicitly declared variables

  • simple memory model that avoids using the stack

  • multi-pass whole-program optimizer (that will even optimize your hand-written assembly if you ask it to)

Licensing

The compiler is distributed under GPLv3 (see LICENSE).

The standard include files (located in the include directory) are distributed under a more permissive Zlib license (see include/LICENSE). Therefore, no attribution is needed if you are developing and distributing Millfork programs.

Planned features

  • stdlib improvements

  • more 6502 targets: Oric computers, PC-Engine/Turbografx-16, Atari Lynx

  • more Z80 targets: MSX, TI-83, Sega Master System

  • better support for 65816, Intel 8080, Sharp LR35902 and eZ80

  • support for Gameboy, SuperFamicom/SNES and Apple IIgs
