After a long idle time I made a c library, the syslib, that contains useful system functions for sound, sprites, scrolling, io, keyboard etc to be accessible from small c (Lion32 only).
From the tiny basic prompt I can now execute c programs from disk (and pass parameters) by using the prefix "!".
So now I can make some utilities, i already made two:
!view filename displays the contents of a text file.
!play filename plays the raw audio sample from a file.
I also made a floating point library to add in an indirect way 32bit floating point arithmetic to Small-C, so I use 32bit integers for storing floating point numbers and do arithmetic.
this is a test program that correctly prints 7.50 as result:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "clib.h"
#include "float.h"
char s[20];
main()
{
int f1,f2,f3;
f1=stof("-2.5");
f2=stof("10");
f3=fadd(f2,f1);
ftoa(s,f3,2); strncat(s,"\n",1);
printf(s);
}
