# 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)
* 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](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.
