Open Source Ada Software for MS-DOS

This project currently provides the GNAT Studio Ada development environment, packaged for macOS. For a source of the compiler and software packages, for various operating systems, see https://ada-lang.io and Alire. For up-to-date releases of the GNAT compiler packaged for macOS, see https://github.com/simonjwright/distributing-gcc/releases. Older releases are retained for historical reasons.

Engine_3D is a real-time 3D engine project grabbed from my old data. The entire 3D rendering is pure software: no OpenGL or the like, no 3D graphics card acceleration! And: Engine_3D is completely programmed in Ada. Some parts of the 3D engine, like the animated bump mapping, are still waiting to be ported to my newer 3D project, GLOBE_3D !... DOS and Linux versions available. Remarks for the DOS version: It is also a funny example of a game system almost fully in Ada, including sound driver, graphics driver, keyboard driver. The only things not in Ada there are the file system (MS-DOS), the 32-bit DOS extender (CWSDPMI) and the mouse driver. For running, I recommend DOSBox. For building from sources, you'll need the DJGPP compiler, which contains a version of GNAT - seems to be still updated as in June 2016 ! Mirror: https://github.com/zertovitch/engine-3d
