My adventures in Coco ASM - Converting Bob and the alien fireflies to the Coco 1, 2 and 3 (maybe)

I've not really had any life since early October 2023. Why? Well, I got bitten by the programming bug and I love it. I had so much fun learning and programming a game in bAtari basic that I decided to go the whole hog and try out Assembly language programming for old 8 bit computers. I'm not mad though, so I've started learning ASM for one of the most powerful (and easy to program for?) processors, the 6809. Welcome to the sometimes headache inducing world that is 16 bit hex addressing :)

If you'd like to do the same hear are links to the resources that helped me out so much :
