programming • Coding challenge: bouncing balls

Coding challenge: How many bouncing balls can you animate on your favourite 8bit Acorn machine?

Requirements: each ball is 9x9 pixels, movement must be flicker-free at 50fps.

I can manage 36 balls on a bog standard, unexpanded Acorn Electron, video here: https://bsky.app/profile/0xc0de.bsky.so ... cxjlru5s2g
