MeToo Children's Program

["Bill Buckels" <bbuckels@mts.net>]

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!
