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.
