Millfork

A middle-level programming language targeting 6502-based microcomputers.

UNDER DEVELOPMENT, NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE

For binary releases, see: https://github.com/KarolS/millfork/releases (latest: 0.2.2)

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

  • 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).

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.
