# Millfork
A middle-level programming language targeting 6502-based and Z80-based microcomputers.
For binary releases, see: https://github.com/KarolS/millfork/releases
(latest: 0.3.0, doesn't support Z80 yet)
## Features
* multiple targets:
* Commodore 64 (the primary target)
* Commodore 64 with SuperCPU (experimental, incomplete and very buggy)
* Commodore 16 and Plus/4
* Commodore 128
* Commodore 64/128 running LUnix/LNG 0.21 (experimental)
* Commodore PET
* Commodore Vic-20 (stock or with RAM extensions)
* Famicom/NES (the second most important target)
* Atari 2600 (experimental)
* Atari 8-bit computers
* BBC Micro
* Apple II+/IIe/Enhanced IIe
* ZX Spectrum 48k
* NEC PC-88
* CP/M
* 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 optimizer (that will even optimize your hand-written assembly if you ask it to)
## Licensing
The compiler is distributed under GPLv3 (see [LICENSE](LICENSE)).
The standard include files (located in the `include` directory) are distributed under a more permissive Zlib license (see [include/LICENSE](include/LICENSE)).
Therefore, no attribution is needed if you are developing and distributing Millfork programs.

* more Z80 targets: Armstrad CPC, MSX, TI-83, Sega Master System
* better support for 65816, Intel 8080, Sharp LR35902 and eZ80
* support for CP/M, Gameboy, SuperFamicom/SNES and Apple IIgs
