AHCC stuff and libraries

Paradize will broaden the range of toosl in use and thus support C coders as well. Simon Sunnyboy started to work with the AHCC Compiler package and future Paradize productions might be made in C aswell.

To help with that we will provide libraries and snippets of C code here in the same fashion as with our GFABASIC page.

Why AHCC you might ask? AHCC is Pure C compatible and more important it is still developed and supported and it even runs under MinT and other multitasking OSes.

Feel free to take what you need from here. Make sure to read the copyright notice in the appropiate section before using.

The routines are for AHCC v3.7b and up. All binary libraries are compiled for 68000 only and shoudl work with all Ataris. The source distributions contain appropriate project files so you can build the libraries yourself.

We hope you'll have as much fun with these routines as we have using them. If you download anything, we'd like to ask you to visit our forum and drop us a note if possible.

AHCC stuff by Paradize

All code pieces in this subsection are © Paradize and you may ofcourse use and (if you want to) improve them. All we require is that our copyright stays intact and that you give us credits or a greeting in your prod.

Routine	Description
IKBD interface library	original code © 2002 by Patrice Mandin This is a small IKBD handler. It hooks the IKBD vector and allows you to get keyboard, mouse and joystick events. The TOS handler is disabled but it allows you to make sure no other process can interfere with your input under multitasking OSes. This makes sure your program takes all input events so no other process can interfere. Godo to write a game or demo which will even run from Mint without other processes interfering. The Source code is available too. Link Note: The current version does not read joystick 0 yet but this will be added soon.
ST-LOW access library	Despite its name, the library allows to setup ST-LOW or ST-MEDIUM for your C program and offers a clean return. It works on TT and Falcon aswell. The library includes support to load .PI1 .PC1 and .NEO files. PC1 decompressor © ny GT Turbo / Cerebral Vortex The Source code for the lib is available too. Link
SNDH replay library	original code © by Gareth Morris This is gwem's SNDH repaly interface for GFABASIC ported over to AHCC. It hooks into the 200hz Timer C and allows to replay SNDH music from AHCC. The Source code is included in the archive.

How to use the libraries?

After unzipping put the files from the LIB folder in your LIB folder in the AHCC installation. Put the headers in INCLUDE and now simply add the corresponding LIB file to your project.

Refer to the example C program in the source distribution and/or the corresponding library header file for available calls.
