[Coco] Lode Runner playable demo available

[nickma2 at optusnet.com.au]

I'm not familiar with the code and how it translates Apple to CoCo
video but...

If you can't make it write 20 bytes to the right, you can shift the
displayed area to the required number of bytes to the left (rounded
off to 2). That way the code continues to write in the same location
but the CoCo display starts to the left. This may require clearing the
RAM to the left as zero (black) as it will be "junk data" on the first
scanline.

Good idea about the credits on the loader.

 Tried that, but didn't get expected results. I can shift it to the
left 
 OK, but not to the right. I need some GIME guru's input... ;)

 For the final version, I'll need a little 'bootstrap loader' that 
 switches in the memory map over DOS and I thought I'd put an intro 
 screen on that...

 This morning I reverse-engineered the spinning GAME OVER animation so

 that's next on the porting list tonight (if I get time). I'm actually

 keen to knock over the last few graphics tasks so I can move on to 
 implementing colour!!!
