jAMOS - new AMOS BASIC reimplementation in Java

[Mequa]

I present a new AMOS BASIC reimplementation:



Following on from my jAMAL project, this uses an interpreter based on my MequaScript project, and includes all the AMAL support found in jAMAL.
A subset of AMOS BASIC is already supported, albeit with simplified syntax at present.

Written in Java, and fully cross-platform, this is completely unrelated to previous AMOS implementations such as Alvyn Basic and Mattathias Basic.
Like jAMAL before it, this is fully open source with a permissive BSD-style license, and utilises the JGame engine.

jAMOS alpha 0.1 is now ready for public download:
Get it here!

Changes:
Alpha 0.1 (January 31st 2012):
Initial release.

Alpha 0.11 (January 31st 2012):
jAMOS alpha 0.11 adds mouse and cursor keys (simulated joystick) input and corresponding examples.

Alpha 0.12 (February 3rd 2012):
A major milestone has been reached with the first fully playable game created with jAMOS, a simple Breakout clone "jAMOSOut", now added to the examples.
Some more AMOS functions have been implemented too.

Alpha 0.13 (February 18th 2012)
- A text output console is now spawned on creation (for HelloWorld.jamos, etc.).
- Default example changed to jAMOSOut (original still available under AMAL examples).
- AMAL examples now default to the first AMAL program in the editor when opened (as with jAMAL).
- More examples were added demonstrating dynamic types, concurrent jAMOS programs and hybrid syntax.
- jAMAL's startup sound is playable from the menu alongside jAMOS's.
- Some minor bug-fixes.

Alpha 0.14 (February 23rd 2012)
- Can now load AMOS sprite banks (.abk) directly.
- Built-in sprite bank viewer now supports image zooming.
