Hello fellow MorphOS developers and users! I am in The Philippines and am wondering if there are any other MorphOS developers/users in the Philippines... If you are one, then please let me know. I really don't mind being the only MorphOS user in the Philippines, but if there are others, that would be very helpful!

I just started with MorphOS 3.7 on December 1, 2014, and I am looking forward into developing software for it. But, before I can develop and publish my future software, I must know who my audience (beta testers) is...
Philippines: Philippine-centric
Southeast Asia: Southeast Asian-centric
Filipinos/Filipinas in other countries: Philippine-oriented

For those that are wondering, I am originally from Seattle, Washington, USA, and was born in Massachusetts, USA. My primary/common language is American English. I learned Spanish in US-based high school, however, I have converted my Spanish language into the Tagalog/Filipino language. I am still in the process of learning Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese languages.

Anyways, this is my first post on the MorphZone... Happy Holidays, everybody!

Marcos "Kuya Marc" Miranda

Happy holidays!

Welcome Mr. Miranda, bienvenido!

If you were in the past an Amiga developer this could help you in developing also programs for morphOS, but sure it is not necessary to be an Amiga expert, as MorphOS is a standalone Operating System.

if you take a look in the past discussion threads on this forum, there is enough informations on good text editors and languages for developing MorphOS Software.

Also you have another opportunity.

There is a software called Hollywood that is an authoring assistant.

http://www.hollywood-mal.com/

Hollywood features a "visual" environment and with a touch of a button allows you to create executable programs that run on all these operating systems:

AmigaOS 3 (m68k)
AmigaOS 4 (ppc)
Android (arm)
AROS (i386)
Linux (i386)
Linux (ppc)
Mac OS X (i386)
Mac OS X (ppc)
MorphOS (ppc)
WarpOS (m68k/ppc)
Windows (i386)

How about this?
Code:

Nice-ta-meecha! I'm located upon Australia (for now...), I've done a little software writing on MorphOS in the past and I'm kind of interested in learning Spanish. ;)

Hi KuyaMarc, que tal !
Un usuario de MorphOS más ! Cool

What kind of software could you
bring to MorphOS?

Thanks y recibe un cordial saludo.

I'm fond of writing utility or "behind-the-scenes" kind of software. I'm into the boring, phonemes-to-speech speech synthesis. Traditionally, I write code "on the fly"; if it's not available and I need it, I will make it.

I was ready to port over my embedded speech synthesis systems into MorphOS, but I'm discovering from other developers, that pl2303 Tx is not yet working, so I may need to work a TCP/IP interface, instead. The solution is already working via the Remote Shell, but I'm looking for a better way of making MorphOS talk.

No, I am not doing English text-to-speech (TTS). I am working the world's first robotic Tagalog speech synthesizer, by creating the world's first Tagalog speech synthesis dictionary, using phonemes and allophones.

Moreorless, the boards will have to be constructed for my upcoming software to work properly. Four years ago, I started working embedded projects, or projects outside the box. As for MorphOS, I intend on making software for it to "live" in the real world.

Hello Australia! When I started computers 31 years ago, I also started programming. I was never into gaming, just the boring programming stuff. When I had my Amiga 500 from 1987-1989, I worked speech synthesis and wrote code in AmigaBASIC and some assembly language. I'm a habitual programmer, what can I say? :D

As for Spanish, people tend to think I'm still fluent in Spanish because I took 3 years of Spanish in high school in the USA. Well, Spanish was easy for me to learn, but I only used it to speak to my Mexican friends back then, and convert my Spanish knowledge into Tagalog/Filipino, that national language of the Philippines.

I've installed the MorphOS SDK on day #2 of my MorphOS experience. I've written my "Hello World" app and set development for day #10 as I've previously scheduled, mentally. I'm still at the "Getting to know MorphOS" stages. ;)

Actually, in my case, it is this way:

Code:

The allophones are prefixed by a backslash, which don't show here.

Thanks for the tip on Hollywood. I don't do graphical apps, I'm the boring utility apps creator type of guy. I tend to make apps that execute via the shell or via other programs. :)
