ColecoVision C Compiler Interface (frontend for Windows)

[newcoleco]

Hello to everyone (not only Coleco programmers)!!

The following program makes you an expert to compile Coleco projects.

Extract z80.zip (c:\z80) and cci.zip (c:\z80\cci).
Double-click on CCI.EXE in the cci sub-directory and try to compile the Coleco "test" project by following the instructions in the english.txt file.

My friends tested this program. Conclusion : CCI is easy to use.

I think the GUI I have done for the Coleco Compiler Interface (CCI) is easy to use.. (click click here and click click there).. and it's true.

In fact, CCI is the only GUI to compile Coleco projects. So it's normal you have a few questions. So I decided to do a kind of "walkthrough" to show you how simple CCI is... step by step with pictures.

After that, if someone cannot compile a Coleco project... just too bad.

And for those who wants to try something a bit more difficult, read the txt file included in the cci.zip file. You will have to edit the "test.c" file with a text editor and then re-compile the rom. Do it step by step otherwise ... it will not works.

Good luck!

Tomorrow I may be able to get at one of the better computers here. I'll try it then, but my hour's up now.
Who knows, newcoleco? Maybe there'll be a new ColecoVision game available for the CGE 2003. If I can understand how to program on one of these things...

@Aswald : Start by doing many programming test to see by yourself how you can do a ColecoVision game.

CCI is very easy to use. Compiling Coleco project (writen in C) is now very easy.. very very easy. Programming ColecoVision games is a bit more difficult because you have to use the keyboard... and also learning C language.
