Jim Butterfield's CBM pentomino puzzle solver to CoCo
After a month of rigorous testing of phx's brand new 6809 vasm back end, here is some CoCo entertainment. This is a 6502 to 6809 translation of Jim Butterfield's pentomino puzzle solver.
Once savestate is loaded Dream emulator is running, cassette will have already been loaded. There are 2 choices.
EXEC12288 optional EXEC12288,<0-7> pause while solution shows
Uses letters to represent pieces.
EXEC12293 same delay arg
Invokes mode where color blocks are used. The CoCo hasn't enough colors for all 12 pieces so a few graphic blocks are substituted. Also, this mode will filter reflection, flips, and both from tally i.e. one fourth the solutions.
For speed run/stop is moved out of the main loop. During a solution display press Q to quit.
Another special version spooled each solution to cassette tape. Maptapper was then used to make the picture.
