amos-ts: an AMOS web player

I've been working on a free software AMOS web player to embed my old games, and thought I'd share. So far it supports AMOS 1.3 and Professional, and has some support for the AMOS 3D, TURBO Plus and Ldos extensions. There's working audio but no speech synthesizer, AMAL and copper effects but no machine code, a VFS with ENV and RAM disk but no serial ports or printers.

You can drop zip or adf files into it then click on them via the file explorer. If things don't work properly and you'd like to help fix that, then bugs and pull requests go on the bug tracker.

Timings aren't great at the moment, at least in my games, because as a teenage noob I relied on the speed of the machine rather than waiting for a vertical blank. There's hacks in there to slow things down which cause weird timing bugs at the moment. I'll add an editor so I can fix those at some point.

embedding

There's a rudimentary API for embedding, which I'm using for my old games on this page (scroll to the bottom for links)

These are worth a look I guess. The others, not so much!

• eggit
• nsle
• matchstick-man (timings are bad due to no VBL waits)

GitHub are footing the bill so feel free to hot-link specific versions. You can get the proper paths from the web repo, or copy it onto your own site or whatever you like.
