[Coco] New CoCo 3 game - Ricoche

[Roger Taylor]

I'm a day or two away from finishing a new game called Richoche, for 
the 6309 512k CoCo 3.  If I can manage to replace the block memory 
transfer commands with stack blast 6809 opcodes and keep the 
framerate decent, I'll do that and announce that it's a 6809 
game.  This is basically the former Spider-Hyper game revived but 
with 2 extra walls and the spiders are now bouncing color 
balls.  Since I wrote the games, I can usually win them quick but the 
trick is using your peripheral vision and waiting on balls that are 
lined up horizontally to get near a lower wall before letting them 
through real quick.  It's still a big challenge with 32 balls and 9 
chambers that they can be trapped in.  I'm trying to add a real-time 
soundtrack right now, and I'm having trouble finding some raw MUSICA 
files (not the LOADMable ones, but the data only ones).  If anyone 
wants to contribute 3 MUSICA jams, I'll give you a copy of the 
game.  I need a play-time jam, a winner's tune, and a loser's 
tune.  I'm toying with putting a 6-bit PCM soundtrack in the 
background for the play-time jam, but no guarantee.
