I would like to program an application for the Amiga, just for fun!
Please could someone post a step by step howto based on the following?
Exactly what programming tools I should use, are there any already installed?
Am I limited to plain text editors, or are there IDEs and debugging tools available?
If no tools are already installed, how can this done? Are there free ones?
I'd like to learn a traditional Amiga language, could you reccomend one?
What should I use to compile the language you suggest?
Please could you suggest tools I may use to debug the suggested language?
Are there any libraries I should be aware of, such as GUI libraries?
Some things to note...
I'm running Workbench 3.1 from within the WinUAE emulator.
From Workbench, I can access files from my Windows hard drive.
I'd like to code and compile it from Workbench if possible.
I'm running WinUAE in A1200 mode, not sure if that matters.
There's an application already installed called MEmacs.
I know C++ and C# very well, maybe there's a similar Amiga language.
I'm aware that you can code with C and C++, but I want to learn a new language.
Update:
I have answered my own question, but please do contribute more answers as I intend on extending my answer. Thanks to all that have contributed so far, you've been very helpful!
