From today ugBASIC supports the ColecoVision console. Starting from the same BASIC source, valid for other 8-bit platforms, it will be possible to generate a ROM cartridge ready to be inserted. The compiler supports the text and graphics modes available on the standard VDP on the console, and makes available a structured language with multitasking and support for animations.
ColecoVision has also been integrated into ugBASIC-IDE, as well: this tool offers syntactic highlighting, file management, online help and an integration for error diagnostics under Microsoft Windows. From this tool it is possible to send the program running directly on one of the supported emulators (openMSX or blueMSX), all with a click.
