I haven't had time to go through much of your source yet, but I did want to mention a bug - when you are selecting your speed, it allows the "R" key to be selected, rather than a number. This causes the game to run very slow, but still play. It really drags out the sound effects, so you can hear eac...

Pere - does that mean that the MPAGD games run faster, since it converts it to assembler vs. an intermediate type language?

I see some messages from a 'robcfg' on there... is that the same 'robcfg' here in the World of Dragon forums?

As part of the NitrOS-9/EOU project for the Coco 3, I have been working on optimizing / speeding up BASIC09 and RUNB. This is both for the 6809 and the 6309 versions. I just feature froze the current batch of updates (mainly focused on INTEGER and REAL basic math routines (addition, subtraction, mul...

I will pass that on to Paul... thanks! I forgot to include screen shots:
