[Coco] Phoenix IDE gaining sprite/tiles/map editor

[Steve Bjork]

I took a look at the book and very little translates to the CoCo.  
Besides the CPU, Both the Sound and Graphics system are nowhere close to 
the CoCo.

The only Chapters I would recommend would be 9 and 10 about game 
design.  Everything else is about hardware that does not apply to the 
CoCo.  Any would be CoCo programmer will get lost trying to use what 
they learned in the other chapters.

I'll be out at the CoCofest and would be happy to talk coding, game 
design or anything else CoCo to anyone that wants to.

See you at the Fest!

Steve
