## Timing
At the moment there is no emulation of clock cycles and so programs will just execute as fast as they can and it's not possible to introduce delays by looping and counting cycles. This is something I'm considering adding but isn't currently at the top of my list...feel free to submit a PR.
Because there is no real timing it was necessary to do something with the display, otherwise it would be updated far too quickly. The hack here is that every time a byte is written to video memory a delay of 20ms is introduced. This is fine for playing around with video stuff (like in the sample) but if you want to update the entire screen quickly it's rubbish - see comments in _sample/draw.s_ about the "clear_screen" routine.

Resolution of the "attached display" is 64 * 64, so 4096 bytes. Each "pixel" is blown up to be 8 pixels in size so things are nice and blocky.

## Keyboard
The last key pressed is stored to 0xF001 and it's up to your programs to clear this out after reading if you don't want to repeatedly read the same keypress.
