MeToo! and MoiAussi! (English and French Versions) for the Apple //e are now
up for download at:
http://www.clipshop.ca/DiskImages/metoo.zip
Complete documentation in English and French and finished versions and
source code to follow shortly.
Synopsis:
I have been porting my MS-DOS version of MeToo to ProDOS 8. Written in
Aztec-C (of course:). This is why I have been strangely quiet throughout the
month of June.
This little mini-project turned into a very challenging activity for me, and
squeezing all this into 2 diskimages and memory and so forth consumed many
hours of enjoyable fun.
This is quite a large program, and requires that you you boot with side A
and then flip the disk to side B to run the program.
I will be releasing the source code as well, and some other stuff shortly as
additions to my Aztec C AppleX distribution.
If anyone has the time, give this a try. More to follow in the next few
days.
The Aztec-C Challenge
I should also mention that I am am offering a prize of $100 USD by way of a
challenge to any CC65 programmer who is able to rewrite MeToo! in CC65
without dropping features or functionality. The rewrite must result in an
exact functional duplicate of the Aztec-C version in both English and French
and must fit on a maximum of 2 disk images (same as what I have done).
I will provide complete Aztec-C source code to anyone who thinks they can do
in CC65 what I did in Aztec-C. Since I have done most of the real work
already like creating all the graphics and music etc. I don't think this is
more than 2 or 3 days for any average real world C programmer with a real
world compiler, drawing on my 30 years experience in project management and
managing programmers etc. A real hotshot would have this done in a couple of
hours, if the library routines were in place.
Have Fun!
