display primitive graphics on a 32x16 pixel 2-colour display.
OXO, a Tic-Tac-Toe program by A S Douglas in 1952, displayed
the moves graphically.
But I doubt if anyone in the group has an EDSAC!
Wow! I hadn't heard of this before. What was the display technology?
And by "2-colour" do you really mean it was a color display with
foreground and background, or do you mean it was a black and white
display with full-intensity-on and intensity-off style 'colors'?
