I thought I’d share my third project with you all. I got sort of obsessed with the idea of driving the VGA protocol without any frame buffer memory backing the display and I wanted to see how far I could get with such a design. I ended up with a cute little program that bounces a few geometric shapes around the screen and also does boundary and collision detection.
