Welcome to the OSDK!
The OSDK is a complete cross-development system allowing you to create software for the Oric range of computers 1.

If you are interested in developing your programs for other 6502 based machines than the Oric, you should check cc65.You are still reading, so I assume that you are still interested in the OSDK. Good.
System requirements
The platform requirement for the OSDK are pretty minimalistic: It runs on anything that runs Windows, and it is compatible with Wine so you can also run it on Linux 2
Licence model
Due to the composite nature of this SDK, it is difficult to give a clear statement such as 'the OSDK is using the ZLib/BSD/GPL/WTFPL licence'.
On the other hand, what you can or cannot do is relatively clear:
  • You are free to use the SDK or any part of it to build anything you want, even if you plan to sell the resulting product.
  • You are free to modify the source code, fork it, extend it, etc...
  • Reselling the actual source code of the SDK or any part of it, is not allowed
  • Putting your own copyright on the files, is not allowed
  • Putting your own licence on the files is discouraged
  • Crediting the original authors somewhere in your documentation, is appreciated
The spirit is simple: Some people have been working for free to provide you with all that, you are free to use it for your own projects (commercial or not), but don't resell other's people work or pretend it was yours.

1) This includes the Oric 1, Oric Atmos, Oric Nova 64, Pravetz 8D and Oric Telestrat. OSDK is not compatible with the first, original, machine in the Oric range (the Microtan 65).If you never heard of Oric before, you can read about it on Wikipedia

2) A real Linux port will be available at some point, in the meantime this Wine compatibility should be good enough.

“One of the best Oric demos”


Released in 2003

“This is a really great demo. The graphics and effects really are the best yet. I particularly enjoyed the ducks, the record player and 'I see, I see'. The music is also excellent.”
Lothlin

“Fantastic demo!!!! Who said 8-bit is dead??? Wonderful work guys. I agree that the turntable is the most intreaguing part of the demo.”
The Spider

“ How is it possible to do such things with an Oric ? I loved the rolling disk , Yeah let move your Body :D”
