| How it works under MorphOS? Are there much examples to make programs or games? |

| Yes, it works fine on MorphOS . There are examples included, and I've already compiled the most interesting/useful ones here: http://cshandley.co.uk/portable/examples/
edit: Note that the SOTB example runs very slowly *unless* your graphics card supports 3D acceleration, as it makes heavy use of 2D alpha transparencies.
edit: Beware that saving of pictures (grabbed from the screen) doesn't work correctly on MorphOS (wrong colours saved). Otherwise I believe everything works fine. Last edited by ChrisH on 14-Dec-2015 at 09:57 PM. Last edited by ChrisH on 14-Dec-2015 at 09:56 PM.

| You can also find some games made by someone else: http://os4depot.net/?function=modules/sql/filesbyuploader&submitter=mrdarek
However they are mostly only compiled/tested for AmigaOS4, and occasionally AROS. Their source code has often been made available, although I don't guarantee how easy the source code is to understand! _________________ Author of the PortablE programming language.

| @ChrisH I understand that Amiga flavours come first but any ETA as to when the Windows version will be on par with them? Do you talk to Wouter about portableE? IIRC One of the strength of AmigaE was compile speed, since you translate the code to C++ it should be quite a bit slower any plan to match AmigaE speed regarding compilation time?

| @kamelit0 I shan't be even thinking about bringing the Windows target to feature parity until after "r6" is no-longer beta (I don't know when that will be). So don't expect it any time soon.
Regarding compilation speed, I find PortablE to be OK (and on x86 it feels virtually instant - i.e. as fast as AmigaE!). I do have plans to significantly speed it up, but it's never going to reach the original AmigaE. The main reason PortablE hadn't seen a proper release for 2 years is that I'd hoped to finish debugging & release the big speed-up of PortablE, but eventually I was forced to disable that in favour of just releasing an update of PortablE that worked on latest OSes.

| Do you consider an optimised version for 68k Amigas in the future? _________________

| @Phantom I still hope to optimise things further, but I'm not planning to do so specifically for OS3/68k. To be honest, OS3/68k is a lower priority than OS4/AROS/MOS, although it's also the common ground of OS4/AROS/MOS, so it's mostly possible to support it without too much work. _________________ Author of the PortablE programming language.

| Nice one Chris.
I shall endeavour to have a play with this at some point. (probably not until the new year, the way things are going...) _________________ Robert -- A1XE G4, OS4.1. Peg1 G3, MOS 1.4. Abel Soul - Check out our tunes on Spotify
