"Only now it's insufficient. We'd like to make pixels move around on a
simulated CRT screen. And we DON'T want to do it using high-level
complex stuff like VISUAL BASIC. Old fashioned line coding, iterating
to move pixels according to simple algorithms. Is that too much to
ask?
(Apparently so. In fact, the number of peopls who (last time) simply
could not even grasp what I was looking for, and kept recommending
complex, high-level stuff, shows what a mental block this is.)"

Simple instructions for making a "turtle" (remember those???) wander
about a screen. And draw pretty patterns with a bit of maths.
