Here's an upload in dragon format of my latest programming efforts for the CocoCoding 2013 contest. It's a simulation of the Scrabble. For instructions, see my Blog:

Feedback on it and Pipe Frenzy and Tunnel Jumper are most welcome.

The ROMs are here.

Thanks very much.

Ah yes. Forgot XRoar emulates the Coco too. I'll track down the roms and get it up and running as a Coco. Thanks. I also noticed somewhere that someone has a DSi version of Xroar. Any idea how to get that one running? I have a DSi but don't know how you can get executables to run on it. Anyway, here...

Calling INKEY doesn't reset PEEK(135). In fact it prevents that peek location (last key pressed) from containing anything. So it doesn't work for my ONGOSUB key input routine based on key lookup table stored in an array. It does reset the rollover table locations, but then you would have to use sepa...

I've sent a zip to the Retrospectiva organizers with a bunch of .cas files containing slightly tweaked versions of my programs for the Dragon. Programs of mine that used the keyboard rollover table had a small routine for later versions of the Coco2 that needed the keyboard rollover table to re-poke...

There's an updated version of Pitman with proper game save and disk features added, as well as proper intro screen. Ive also created two new programs "Pipe Frenzy" and "Tunnel Jumper" for the Coco Coding programming contest. For these and other new programs see the "JGGAMES5.DSK" at: http://www3.ns....

Thanks Sixxie and Zephyr. That clears up a lot. My Coco 2 was a late model Coco 2 (it has lowercase capable VDG). It sounds like it manifests this short lived modification. I changed my routines to poke all the rollover locations with 255s before peeking them, which seems to have solved the problem....

I have just submitted a new version of JGGAMES4.DSK with all my entries to the Retrospectiva competition contest organizer. I have been working on all of them to make sure the key scan routine, which uses the key rollover table (peeks 338-345), is compatible with the coco 2. For some reason this rou...

Yes, there's a version of Pipe Frenzy on the JGGAMES5.DSK. However, it is still a bit of a work in progress. There are several problems with game play and compatibility across all the Coco models that I'm working on. See my blog for updates. I'll be releasing a new version of it soon. Blog: http://j...

I've submitted a set of programs I originally made for the TRS-80 MC-10, and have now ported them also to the Coco and Dragon. See the Retrospectiva game competition site to download: http://rsp.retrocomputacion.com/games-jim-gerrie-ports-4-of-his-games-to-the-tandy-coco/ I've also have now made Coc...
