Nothing fancy. Plain BASIC. Not compiled. Just something nice to look at. The biggest effort went into making the thing go as fast as it could. Not very fast, I'm afraid...

Another idea was a full-screen LIFE program, but that was impossible to do in 32 K memory, in BASIC, and it had only an acceptable speed using the character-screen only. So, caleidoscope it was.

What's the contest next time ? The best game in a one-liner ?

One thing: I wanted to improve on the bad model 100/102 random generator. It has probably been done before, but lines 3 and 6 do just that using the seconds in the time as a random seed.
