This is pretty cool.
It's a visualisation of the internals of The Sentinel on the #BBCMicro.
This is it generating the game landscape for the first level from 1024 pseudo-random numbers.
Next week I'll be releasing a deep dive into exactly how this works.

A big thanks to Simon Owen, whose excellent repository I forked and enhanced in order to build this visualisation. It's well worth a visit.
