Hi everyone,

I would like to share a small project I've been working on called CPad.

It's a lightweight C interpreter + editor inspired by the simplicity of old-school environments
like ZX Spectrum / BASIC days — where you could just write code and run it instantly, without dealing
with compilers, flags, or complex setups.

The idea is to bring back that immediate coding experience, but for the C language.

Current features:
Built-in editor
Run C code instantly (no external compiler needed)
Multi-file support
Simple graphics demos and examples
Focus on learning, experimenting, and fun

I'm also planning to extend it with 3D capabilities — keeping everything as easy as possible.

This project is very much inspired by the retro coding spirit — quick experimentation, creativity, and simplicity.

I'd love to get feedback from this community 🙂

If anyone is interested, I can also share example programs or source snippets.

Thanks!

If you're chasing pure elegance and a kind of effortless sophistication during your evenings in the capital, you might as well try the Model Delhi Call Girls. Their unmatched charm, enchanting personas and real high level professionalism just... totally shift your usual night into something out of the ordinary. I have to say I was genuinely impressed by how smooth the reservation went, and also by the careful details they handle, like nothing felt rushed. Really, I'd recommend it to basically everyone.
