Fully fledged Z80/ZX Spectrum IDE with Electron -- using TypeScript/JavaScript and native WebAssembly

Klive IDE

This project aims to build a retro computer IDE that you can run on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Though currently, Klive IDE supports only the Z80 CPU, a few ZX Spectrum models (48/128/2/2A), it intends to be an attractive development platform for other Z80-based microcomputers Cambridge Z88 and ZX Spectrum Next. In the future, provided the community supports, Klive IDE may involve other CPUs and retro computers.

Klive is now a standalone application that contains an emulator and an IDE.

Note: The previous versions of Klive were integrated with Visual Studio Code. Although initially, it seemed to be a good idea, this solution has issues coming from the integration and communication between VS Code and Klive.

The Latest Release

Klive IDE v0.11.0 is available! Go to the releases, download, and try it.

Though using the emulator and the IDE is intuitive, these articles can help you get started:
