[Coco] AGD engine converted for the 6809

[Pere Serrat]

Hi Bill,
by now the engine by itself won't be of any use ...
I have been developping a Suite of programs with Kees van Oss so that 
the ZX-Spectrum .AGD files
can be used to generate an assembler source file that can later be 
compiled ad so we end up with
the binaries for both CoCo and Dragon.
Using the tools I said in the web and a bunch of bat files I can create 
correct disks DSK-VDK that can
be used in the emulators or on actual hardware.

We have a big lot of AGD files to work with (some 150-170). We wil be 
working on them adding any
intro screen we could find and then we will be releasing them on the web 
where I have put the first
converted game: FOGGY's QUEST

If someday we could use a windows program that can work with these AGD 
files and allows us to
choose the PMode, then we could try to create PMode 3 versions of the 
games we'd like.
Even we could design new games from scratch, this is what I really would 
like to see as soon as possible!
Kees told me that someone is working on this Windows program so that it 
will give support to our
6847 graphic modes.

When this tool is available for us, then I will upload the source code 
for the engine as well the bat files
and the C program that cretes the ASM source ...

By now, you should better wait and enjoy the games that will be 
regularly released.
cheers
pere
