About
As you can see from the CPad logo, CPad is tribute to the legendary ZX Spectrum.
As a programmer who wrote code in C and C++ for many years, I noticed that every time I needed to
create an application, even the smallest and simplest one, I needed to deal with tedious C/C++ compiler settings, linker settings and many tasks that are not related to the actual programming.
All those setting take lots of time and distract you from the actual programming.
Then I remembered the simplicity of writing and running BASIC programs and I thought why not hide all those complexities, and just have to write the code and run it just like in ZX BASIC - but with
the C language.
CPad is inspired by the fun of game programming like on the ZX or the Commodore of the 80's era
and is trying to preserve this spirit of gaming simplicity and fun.
The interpreter uses the C language which is clean, neat, simple and intuitive to quickly have the job done.
The libraries provided with CPad contain most of the building block you need to build your application.
CPad allows quick code prototyping and is also ideal for Math and Science computations similar to Graphing Calculators.
