MIST1023/BLIPPYPIXEL-WHAT_IS_IT

Mistigram: a flock of bats flutters from the haunted towers of a castle out into the moonlight over the moorland. This #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen was made by @blippypixel and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

This is a really good (if simply produced) primer on Islamic Geometric pattern making, targeting Logo on a BBC Micro. The code will run (with some scaling work) under modern Logo interpreters.

I see that over on Stardot, that Eben Upton* is messing about with trying to run a BBC Micro with a CSG 65CE02 processor with qualified success (and lots of freeze spray).

The 65CE02 (an extended CMOS 6502 made by Commodore) was only ever used in the Amiga A2232 serial card. I guess it can only make Amiga bits even more expensive.

I'd give a link, but Stardot's login-only now because of the scrapers.

*: yes, that one.
