# Honeylisp
|
|
## A hackable programming envrionment for the Apple II
|
|
|
|
Honeylisp is a set of integrated tools designed to allow tight iteration when
|
|
developing low-level 6502 code. It is written in Fennel, a Lisp dialect that
|
|
compiles to Lua. You program the Apple II by writing Fennel code that generates
|
|
6502 assembly as simple lists-of-symbols. You can then interactively update
|
|
that code while it runs with simple commands in the lite editor.
|
|
|
|
Honeylisp comprises:
|
|
* A hackable programmer's text editor (lite)
|
|
* Ported to the Love2D game engine framework (lite-hearted)
|
|
* A simple imgui-inspired library for quickly building custom editors
|
|
* An extensible 6502 assembler
|
|
* A Forth-like stack-based virtual machine for the 6502
|
|
* Deep MAME integration (jeejah)
|
|
* Live interactive eval while your game is running
|
|
* Hot code reload
|
|
* TODO: snapshotting / rewind, rich symbols visible in the MAME debugger
|
|
* Actual hardware integration
|
|
* Supports uploading to the Apple II via the cassette port or a serial card
|
|
* TODO: Live interactive eval and hot code reload
|
|
|
|
The main goal of the project is to support the creation of a game called Neut
|
|
Tower by its developer, but it is potentially generally interesting and useful
|
|
to others. Its design is focussed on the molding of the tool to your individual
|
|
needs; you are encouraged to fork it and modify any part to suit your taste.
