RED = Clear, MAGENTA = Plot. I'm right up there against the vertical sync.
Down to 70 Balls fixing my silly plot bug. Now searching for spare cycles!

*73* 9x9 balls with better plot routine. Still getting some artifacts / tearing though, not sure what's causing the single lines to be honest. Some balls are half-plotted. Something's not quite right but I'm still really happy with this.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.

Whoever wrote this game? Pure genius. It broke my chiddlers.

Now we're thinking with... uh... whatever this is.
OK! 51 balls *but* single buffered 8x8- Moving to 9x9's gonna cost some cycles! Can only get to 24 with double buffering, long way to go.
This is pretty fun! Cheers for pulling me back into the game @0xc0de.bsky.social and @snuggsy187.bsky.social

Uh... That wasn't what I was aiming for, but still looks neat. (Yes yes this is taking far too long! :D )

Rudimentary Oxygene part 4, on my home made "SturdySynth"!
Managed to get it to connect to Windows too.
5/6 channels used- but no acoustic sounds yet. Oh and the drums sound like an old console :D

I'm still here, working on my emulator and my home made synthesizer. Now with 6 synthesis algorithms and multi channel midi support on an esp32. I have optimised the shizzle out of this thing!
No idea if the video will work, guess we will see when I hit the button... about...... now!
