[Coco] CoCo Development

[Richard Goedeken]

I use a PC running Linux with a Grafx2 for art, MESS for emulation, lwasm for 
assembling, and Python scripts for a build system.

I'm not lucky enough to have Super LOGO but I do have the regular Logo 
cartridge. I don't think anyone every made any games written in Logo; it's too 
slow.
