Here it is.  It is actually a better demo grade program than the text
generator because it's simpler.  I also forgot to take out some test
code and detritus in the text generator (for one thing, the "hello there"
bitmap is still there, unused, at the end of it.)

Yeah, more of a special effect than something you'd want to use.
Why does it flicker so much?  I thought the basic 48-pixel code was
miraculously flicker-free.  Of course, I'm just skirting stuff other than
the playfield right now.  You fiend, now you've got me thinking about
this...
