Coding in Assembler

The best development packages for m/c projects on the Coupé are

• Comet and Turbomon
• Comet and SC_Monitor
• Zeus

The Comet can load sources made in the SC_Assembler or in the Lerm Assembler, can handle sourcefiles over 400KB, has a quick editor and a superfast compiler and it´s sourcefile can also be assembled on any modern PC by a python script or by a development tool (complete IDE) written in Java.

The Zeus Assembler for the SAM Coupé is compatible with Comet, but more advanced, it is a whole development IDE with a better editor and a built-in debugger and can be also driven by a mouse.

ZX Spectrum Legacy

They say, the author of the Comet cooperated with the maker of Tornado. These programs are wonderful pieces of software, but the most speccyal assembler is the Prometheus - see the kind of writing commands, by pressing one key. Many people adorate Memory Resident System (MRS), many hate it. Any other assembler with linenumbers in source is obsolete.

The old good Pikasm looks professionaly, handles conditions (IF-THEN-ELSE) and uses C-like syntax and options.
