SWIFT is an IDE, with built-in code editor, designed to aid development of software for 8-bit Acorn microcomputers. Projects can make use of multiple third party cross assemblers such as the free Python assembler, P65, as well as multiple emulators. SWIFT provides Error Throwback highlighting in offending source code, One-Click Testing and One-Click Source Assembly with the option of writing the assembled code direct to a DFS disk image.
Discuss SWIFT
