After a solid amount of programming and a lot of debugging, both in local code and in game code, I released the BSD Socket extension for AMOS BASIC. It works around AMOS's limitations when calling networking functions, providing as smooth an experience as possible for AMOS programs to talk to other computers. You can get it from Aminet or from my code repository. It's been used in the Amiga game AQUABYSS for months now, which helped simplify the networking code greatly in the application.

I'm making live the last set of videos in my #PeerTube migration. This series started with a random email I received about a networking library I wrote for AMOS BASIC and released in 1998 before moving on from the Amiga...for a while at least. A game developer was trying to get my library working with their upcoming game, and needed my help. We ended up getting it working, and several Amigas running AMOS BASIC code could chat with each other. I also learned a lot about computer networking at the socket level, too.
But I wasn't satisfied with a pure AMOS BASIC solution. I wanted an actual AMOS extension. But for that to happen, I'd need to learn a lot more...

Can I fix the non-functioning AMOS BASIC networking library I wrote in 1998?
Write Internet-enabled Amiga programs with AMOS Professional and this extension!
Announcement! I've released the AMOS Professional BSD Socket extension, a proper version of code I wrote 25 years ago. #amiga #programming #amosbasic
