[Coco] Basic09

[Carlos Camacho]

Besides the OS9 manuals and the book by Dale Plunkett, any good books or
articles on BASIC09 graphics and sound capabilities?

I have a memory each command needs to be calling a graphic library. I think
Curtis was slowly updating them.

Anyhow, any articles in Rainbow. Etc that comes to mind regarding graphics
and sound? (And mouse control)

Yes. I'm looking at game dev with BASIC09.

Btw... I understand BASIC09 is like Pascal's pcode approach with virtual
machine of sorts. (Icode?)

Why weren't there compilers for BASIC09? I know it runs fast and made
especially for 6809, but surely compiling would result in faster programs
than the Icode or whatever it's called.



Thanks

Carlos
