It has subsequently been forked by the community and re-branded as Cerberus X. In June 2017, official support for the original Monkey X was discontinued and the full version and source were made available for free. It expands the capabilities of Monkey X by adding support for generic classes, 'first class' and lamda functions, structs, built-in multi-threading capabilities, and operator overloading. Monkey 2 v1.0.0 was released on 30 June 2016. And finally, a full "Monkey X Pro" distribution. This bundle includes: Jungle IDE and Font Machine (A third-party IDE, and font generation tool, both respectively by LemonBytes). This acts as a bundle of third-party software, as well as the existing software from the official commercial distribution. In January 2015, "Monkey X Studio" was added to the official website's "Store" section. In late 2014, Blitz Research partnered with Playniax to make a bundle containing the Ignition X framework, as well as a standard "Monkey X Pro" license. Before December 2013, Monkey X's compiler (Transcc) could not be compiled and used by those who had not bought full licenses of Monkey X. The open source distribution of Monkey's compiler is written in Monkey, and therefore requires a valid binary distribution to be compiled. The free versions of Monkey X included unrestricted use of the HTML5 and GLFW (desktop) targets see Mojo (framework). In December 2013, Monkey was re-branded as Monkey X. Monkey was released on Ma by Mark Sibly of Blitz Research Ltd. For details, see: Mojo (framework), and Game targets (technical). Monkey is also distributed in several compiled binary forms from its official website (registration required, to build the compiler).
The compiler and most of the official modules can be found on GitHub. Monkey X's main application/game framework, Mojo, is partially commercial. Monkey X's main implementation (compiler), and a number of official modules are open source. Currently the official target platforms include: Windows (Including the Windows 8 store), OS X, Linux, Xbox 360, Android, iOS, among others.Ĭommunity-driven, user-made targets have also been created, some notable user-targets include: MonkeyMax (BlitzMax), Monkey-Python (Python), and a Nintendo DS target. The resulting code is then compiled normally. The language itself is an object-oriented dialect of BASIC, which the compiler translates into native source code for several target platforms. Monkey X is a high-level programming language designed for video game development for many different platforms, including desktop and laptop computers, mobile phones, tablets, and video game consoles. īlitz BASIC, BlitzMax, C, C++, C#, JavaScript, Java Static, weak, strong (optional), safe, nominative, partly inferredĬross-platform (see the targets section for a full list of supported platforms)
