One page
(what is one page?)
in memory of an 8 bit computer , one page would be 256 bytes
in hexadecimal notation if you have $FFFF memory, one page is $FF , 0-256
for reference : one steemit post can have a maximum of 64 kilo-bytes : 64*1024 (or in some case *1000) bytes , which means in this case characters as each character is represented to the machine by one number which is no bigger than one byte
one steemit COMMENT can have a maximum size of 16 kilo-bytes , i dont know if anyone ever hit the limit , i have , once on a comment, afaicremember.
16000 letters for short or 16*1024 (that includes hyperlinks in full and links to images in full, its the amount of letters, numbers, spaces and punctuation or special characters that counts, not what you see in the feed after the markup has been processed.
Now this thing here is 256 bytes

written in machine language you get one instruction (opcode) per byte, and/or one variable/number which is a byte or a memory address which is two
an example simple could be
lda #$00
sta $D020
which is a total of five bytes
00 01 02 03 04
(on this computer that would turn the border black)
writing it in basic will net you a lot more opcodes than characters
PRINT "hello world" will end up being a lot more bytes than 19 in memory SO
that's what makes this small thing on a computer from 1982 ,
SO AMAZING

The fact that it has a parallax effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax ) AND super-awesome dithering ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dither ) in a demo 256 bytes small, ONE page of the computers memory (theres more details like for instance if you stay within one page your jump ( = goto / gosub) and jsr instructions likely take less time than if you cross a page boundary because doing so might add one or more cycles (i dont know it can add one, ... a NOP , no operation instruction takes two while you would think it takes one but maybe thats because at electronics level its the time to open and close some gate somewhere - nobody here's Steve Wozniak , we are shakespeares greatest monkeys we just hit some buttons until something comes out, its not like we know what we're doing unlike this guy here)
all that makes it double, or even triple amazing PLUS it actually has recognizable shapes, due to the human gestalt brain it looks like a cityscape
(we have a theory that "the" A.i. is actually also the human gestalt brain connecting three dots into WOA ITS INTELLIGENT while its only 3 dots but thats a princes for another castle, Mario)
the future's looking not, so its good to have stuff like this around
i see STEEM HAS RISEN BY 10% SINCE YESTERDAY
HALLELUJAH!

not just a doompatrol metafor
the stateshop and inquisition actually sent me a paper that proves my status is actually a REAL evaluation, not a grey internal status for fubar units
wether the current mad emperor administration will consider the fact that it is and that its unlikely jesus will rise down from heaven to cure this b/c they say so remains to be seen
i doubt it .. but getting this from the inquisition itself is quite a surprise i'd say
GUD
we need landmines and barbed wire still, pretty sure this place will be Flint, Michigan within 10-15 years
