    A summary of my first impressions of #Psion's object oriented ecosystem for #EPOC16.

    TL;DR: It feels janky, but I'm also a noob. Plus what about Objective-C?

    I'm certain there's loads that I've missed with this. Do feel free to comment with constructive information.

    I'll also be making a "2.21" with a few fixes, such as checking for includes properly.

    I'm going to boldly say that my 2.21 version is the one you should use, but of course I'll distribute the older versions. I've definitely had projects that will compile with 2.00 but not with 2.20. I think these projects are more likely to compile with 2.21.

    #Psion poll!

    I'm going to make a video about how to install the SIBO C SDK in #DOSBox, so that people can compile apps for #EPOC16 computers (Series 3/3a/3c/3mx, Siena, Workabout, MC range).

    If you are one of the tiny number of people who might be interested in using this, which modern OS do you use?

    I want to know so that I can tailor the tutorial.

    Anyone remember the Graphic Adventure Creator?

    Originally made for the #Amstrad #CPC, my experience of it was from a #YourSinclair covertape.

    Anyway, it's been on my list to attempt porting it to #Psion #EPOC16 for ages. It's not top priority, but the machine is perfectly designed for playing #textadventure games (see @root42's escapades with #Infocom).

    Be great if it could decompile and play old games, too.
