BMX file viewer for the X16

This program views images made with the BMX format for the Commander X16.
For some reason Try It Now just crashes to monitor until you reset the machine, then it works, so I've removed it for now.

Animated rainbow text demo

This is a demo showing rainbow text in which the hue is shifted every frame to create an animation. This demonstrates real-time palette modification on the VERA. This was my first Assembly program, which was ported from C. Version 2: Use CINT to restore state, rather than manually screenshot.png Sou...

Re: Conway's Game of Life in C, need help with optimizing

I managed to get the simulation running at 1 generation/sec with a 20x20 grid, as long as the GUI doesn't run between generations.
