#AppleII #AppleSoft #BASIC program doing the #Arquimedes Hat - speeded up on the video.

Source code first listing at https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.apple2/c/Uc4EmM3xX88/m/arxQv4J1AAAJ

After some wild mathematical hat rendering yesterday, kicked off by @scruss and @paulrickards, I've got John Brooks' ridiculously optimized 10 line Applesoft BASIC program running on the IIe.

(Time-lapse video; the hat takes about 9 minutes to render on the 1MHz IIe.)
