#43684 — Afera: a library for Abersoft Forth

FromMarcos Cruz <use_the_contact_page@programandala.net>

SubjectAfera: a library for Abersoft Forth
Message-ID<n2vudn$qcr$1@speranza.aioe.org>
I've published an updated version of a library I wrote some months ago
for ZX Spectrum Abersoft Forth.  It's called Afera. I started it in
order to make the development of an improved remake of an old game of
mine easier, but improving an old tape-based fig-Forth and making it
more powerful was such a nice programming challenge that the library
soon grew beyond the requirements of the game.

Main features:

- Many common words and tools found in modern Forth systems.
- Improved tape support.
- 1 KiB of additional free memory on Spectrum 48K.
- 11 KiB of additional free memory on Spectrum 128K.
- Two 16-KiB RAM-disks on Spectrum 128K.
- Improved blocks handling.
- Full screen mode.
- Faster color commands.
- G+DOS support.
- Fixes some bugs of the original system.

http://programandala.net/en.program.afera.html

The game I started this library for is almost finished.  It will be my last
tinkering with fig-Forth... ever.

I would like to encourage you to put it on GitHub.

Thank you. Done:

https://github.com/programandala-net/afera

I'm preparing more projects to put on GitHub.

Will you post a link to TZX of the game once it's done?

Of course. Also a TAP, a SZX snapshot, and of course a tarball with the
sources and everything required to build it.

I also encourage you to create a thread on WorldOfSoectrum.org if you
didn't do it already.

Thanks. Yes, I always post these kind of announcements on WoS and other
ZX Spectrum forums.
