SteveF's VC3-2023 entry Author: SteveF Category: Christmas Challenge System: BBC Micro, Acorn Electron Language: 6502 assembler Len source code: 3194 bytes Len exe file: 63 bytes Len code only: 63 bytes Instructions: To run in the jsbeeb online emulator, go to https://bbc.godbolt.org/, open the hamburger menu at the top right and choose Discs->From examples or local->Browse, then pick the star.ssd disc image file. Then press Shift-F12 to boot the disc. Description: The main idea here is to apply the classic "bouncing ball" animation (without erasing the ball, so we get trails) to a 19x19 sub-region at the top left of the screen. We have three "balls" which together generate the complete pattern. The code just runs forever, because why not? Comments: star.asm is the assembly language source star.bin is the actual machine code+data star.ssd is a bootable Acorn DFS disc image containing star.bin Thanks very much for organising this competition again!
