Both were generated by one of our VME module arbitrary waveform generators. The "Highland Hills" were made by one of my guys who scanned and vectorized our logo somehow.
I did the spiral as a built-in-self-test routine. It's just a few lines of 68K assembly code, basically a pair of coupled integrators.

It also makes cleaning snow and ice off the windshield easier and saves the wiper from the ice scraper. Of course, moving to the South did an even better job. ;-)
Etch-A-Sketch?
Tron Racer ??
Good old fashioned game of NIBBLES.BAS.
(Which, in turn, means he must've written an 8051 emulator, thereby running his 8051 BASIC on the PIC directly!...)

An 8051 emulator on a PIC...that sounds like fun! Use a 40 pin PIC like the 18F452, slap it together in C and then compensate the reduction in performance by overclocking the PIC to like 80Mhz. Of course I can't think of any sane reason for such an exercise considering all the different variates of 8051 clones available...:(
Or an 8051 core for an FPGA?
Better yet: get the IP cores to "all the different variates[sic] of 8051s", put them in the FPGA and run it at ~500MHz, then use them in parallel to emulate the PIC emulating the 8051 with BASIC.
Then use the BASIC to emulate QBasic. Running on top of Windows XP. Running on top of WINE.

Can we build a Beowulf cluster of these?
