This is pretty awesome John, can't wait to see it in person. I'm interested in the C compiler too!

Subject: [Coco] COCODOKU preview video...

As recent threads have made clear, not everyone monitors the CoCo
groups on Facebook.  I'll hazard a guess that not everyone monitors
my posts on Twitter or Google+ either... ;-)

I've been working on a little project for CoCoFEST!  It is called
COCODOKU, and I have a preview video of it here:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heC44h5kUSE

I plan to have COCODOKU as part of my display at CoCoFEST! at the end
of April.  If you don't already know about CoCoFEST!, please turn in
your CoCoNut card...

COCODOKU info summary:

        -- it is a tool for making/solving Sudoku puzzles

        -- it is packaged as a Program Pak

        -- it runs on all CoCo versions (Dragon included!)

        -- it runs in less than 4K of RAM

        -- it also uses less than 4K of ROM

        -- it is written in C, using bcc09

        -- it was developed on Linux, tested on Xroar

I believe this qualifies for Allen's 4K contest as described here:

        http://www.cocopedia.com/wiki/index.php/1980_4K_CoCo_Programming_Challenge

If Program Paks are a different category, then I need some more
competition.  Who is up for it? :-)

If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to discuss development of
COCODOKU (including bcc09) in person at CoCoFEST!
