35.1 Demo Coder Applications, Games, and Languages
When developing any product we always like to give a select few master programmers the hardware early to see what
they come up with. Not only is this a good way to find potential bugs in the hardware, but its interesting to see what some
of the best programmers in the world can do with it. For this release of the Chameleons we have a couple applications
that will be very useful to you.
35.1.1 Chameleon BASIC by David Betz
Figure 35.1 – A BASIC “Life” program running on the Chameleon.
The Chameleon BASIC is a complete compiled BASIC that runs on both the Chameleon AVR and PIC platforms (Figure
35.1 shows an example of a “Life” cellular automata running written in BASIC. You write your programs on the PC with
and editor then download to the Chameleon. The Chameleon runs a VM (virtual machine) that executes the compiled
byte-codes. You can find the latest copy of BASIC on the DVD here:
DVD-ROM:\ CHAM_AVR \ SOURCE \ BASIC
Simple locate the newest directory version and everything you need to get BASIC up and running is in there including
documentation, the compiler, examples, etc.
