It has taken me an inordinately long time, but finally my #Fortran to #Uxntal compiler can now successfully compile the Uxn dvd example.

So you can now write your Uxn games in valid Fortran.

@wim_v12e Add the repo to this post! I'd love to see the dvd example now :D And what it compiles to

@neauoire I've added it, it's https://codeberg.org/wimvanderbauwhede/funktal/src/branch/devel/F2U/test_dvd

The compiler currently does not do any optimisations, so the generated code is not very efficient.
The purpose of the dvd example was to develop and implement Varvara device support, and I think it is rather neat, even if I had to resort to Cray pointers, which are not part of the official Fortran-90 spec.

@wim_v12e thanks I'll have a try to see if I can get it to compile for me : )

@neauoire That will be interesting. You need a reasonably modern Perl for this, as it needs to support subroutine signatures. So I think at least v5.20.
Put the bin in the repo in your PATH and you should be good to go.
(big "should" here 😄 )
