[Coco] Has anyone done an Angry Birds port on the CoCo?

[Roy Lores]

A gravity engine sounds like just the challenge for the likes of 
Sockmaster whom also ported  Donkey Kong and has created not one but 2 
versions of a 3D engine for the CoCo one without textures based on which 
a Doom like game was made for the CoCo and more recently one that does 
textures (I cannot wait for what game will come out of  that).
