XAMOS was specially developed as an accessible, Open Source and cross-platform reimplementation of AMOS BASIC.
XAMOS is a tool that's based on jAMOS, and has been fully re-written in C++ with the help of SDL libraries.
Here are some key features of "XAMOS":
· BASIC-like interpreter based on MequaScript
· Rudimentary Amiga-style screen and scrolling engine
· Native support for AMOS BASIC .abk sprite banks
· From MequaScript: Supports both BASIC-style and C-style syntax (in progress)
· From MequaScript: Multiple XAMOS programs can be run concurrently
· From MequaScript: Supports dynamic types similar to JavaScript
· Compatible with jAMOS source files and al l non-AMAL jAMOS examples

· Added an experimental hardware-accelerated OpenGL front-end.
