Fri Jan 18, 2013 4:32 pm

Has anybody considered a port of the UCSD P-System to the Pi?

They support Linux , so it's worth a try to compile it yourself.

Eek! P System.. or scud pascal as we ued to call it... I once spent a summer coding up a computer aided learning system for the local hospital in that pascal on an Apple II... I might even still have the disks for it...

I did have a look earlier today at seeing how bad it might be to port it, but it started to want dozens of packages being installed and I gave up at that point. I'm sure it's not hard - they already have a Linux port, so it should just be a matter of installing the dependancies and compiling it...

But... I suppose there is a bit of a novelty value in it though!

There is freepascal (with the lazarus ide) already as a package though, isn't there?

Lazarus /Free Pascal works fine , and AFAIK people are working
on better Pascal integration for the Pi (GPIO etc.)

There is a wiringPi wrapper for it:

http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index ... 404.0.html

but I don't know how well it integrates. When you say better pascal, do you mean better than that, or a completely new pascal implementation?
