GEMA is now open source

Ahaha, since I just found the source code on a old floppy, here’s a big (…) thing:

GEMA is now open source and in public domain.

Here’s the link to download GEMA source code and DOS binaries.

GEMA is an assembly language compiler I wrote in 1994, designed to write whole projects (ie. demos) in assembly.

It was used a lot by people coming from the Atari / Amiga demo scene.

The last version was released in Danemark during “The Party V” demo-party.

It was also the very first project I wrote in C language, and also the first code I wrote on a PC (just coming from the Atari world…). It’s nice to see that it still compiles fine, 14 years later, even on Linux and OSX.

It’s now useless, there’s probably zero reason to use it in 2008, so the release of the source code is only for fun. But who knows, maybe it might still be useful to some lost souls.
