Cool, useful to know.
My primary interest is supporting the Dragon of course but if I can keep it CoCo friendly, it's a definite plus.
Another improvement for v1.1.

Looks like Flagon Bird has attracted interest from the Acorn community.

Sweet! You've gone viral
Also an opportunity for some friendly 6502/6809 rivalry

I suppose I should wrap-up FB v1.1. before this guy beats me to it (damn this sunny weather).
Then I look forward to starting something new!

I think Flappy Bird 2 is coming out this month? Might mean some magazine coverage of all these clones?

Small update for Flagon Bird (v1.1).
Sixxie very kindly added a loading screen and some auto-run code. I've also added zephyr's code for ensuring the IRQ is enabled etc and changed the origin address to $1E00 for 16k CoCo compatibility.
I've done a bit of optimisation, (both memory and performance), and added masking to the lower pipes. There's now limited sound and I've made the score tally a bit fancier. Lastly I've capped the top score at 64 as this was my highest during testing. There's still a lot I could do but I'm putting it on the back-burner for a while so I can hopefully start something new (plus there's only so much Flappy Bird a man can take LOL!).
I've uploaded a new video to YouTube but as per usual the resulting framerate makes the scrolling look jerky.
