Hi LCD
I'd love to contribute but I fear I don't have the required expertise. I'm
going to stick to releasing games while I grow my knowledge. I wish you luck
with the endeavour though: it could open up the SAM to new development and
that can only be a good thing.
Cheers
Andrew

I wanted to note that Boriel want to expand his ZX BASIC Cross-Compiler to
support SAM Coupé in future too:
http://www.boriel.com/wiki/en/index.php/Other_architectures
But he will surely need help to finish it. His ZX BASIC is already great
for coding games on Spectrum because he expanded the Spectrum syntax a lot
and allow to use InLine Assembly, and I miss a good BASIC Compiler for SAM
Coupé, with support of Strings and similar stuff. This would surely allow
more people to write new Software for this machine.
Anyone of assembly wizards willing to help him in this task?

I can categorically state that I fall into "Old Git" territory!
I keep meaning to do some Sam work again, but getting started always
feels like a huge effort...
Me too. Finding both the time and, more importantly, the enthusiasm to
do
anything on the SAM is pretty much impossible. Which is why it's
refreshing
to see new games and new developers such as Andrew and Rob still willing
to put the effort in. Starting and (crucially) finishing any project on
the SAM
can be nothing more than a labour of love these days.
