Yes, it's exactly what I did. I used a large chunk of RAM as the video memory and the Kernel just goes down the screen and draws what is in RAM. I was
able to add the ball graphic as the "cursor" but nothing else, there isn't a
whole lot of time. I initially had intended to use the Kernel as a vector graphic engine, but came to the realization that there just wouldn't be enough time to draw lines, or a lot of them anyway - writing to the SC RAM is time consuming.
Later,
