Today we gained two more BASICs. One new, one very old. First at67 offered his BASIC compiler for the Gigatron. This project has been brewing for over a year. It's still in alpha, but it is GREAT already. This is a cross-compiler that creates fast Gigatron binaries. This is fantastic news for those who like to write games but don't want to dive too deep into the Gigatron machine languages. This week it built our Christmas greetings, with snow physics and Jingle Bells tune.

At67's compiler is the third BASIC for the Gigatron. The first was our port of Tiny BASIC more than a year ago. The second was MS BASIC with floating point. Today I decided that three BASICs aren't enough because we can have four.

We have Apple-1 emulation after all, so why not? Most work was to arrange the video table such that we have a 4K continuous block for Wozniak's original Apple-1 BASIC. We managed to free $6000-$6FFF in the 32K system. That mirrors to address $E000 and that is exactly where the original likes to sit. Then we reordered the zero page a bit and recompiled the A1 BASIC using cc65. Et voilà, there it runs!
