/*
This is a demo of an animated starfield.
The TMS9918 has no scrolling registers, so scrolling
requires rewriting the pattern table on each frame.
There is actually only one star in the pattern table,
just a single pixel. We move it vertically between 16
different character tiles (8 * 16 = 128 pixels high).
We then draw vertical stripes of 8 repeating consecutive
characters into the image table.
By randomly offsetting where we begin each stripe, we
create what appears to be a random starfield.
(If you look closely, you'll see there's exactly two
stars for every 8-pixel-wide vertical column.)
This demo uses an interrupt handler to increment a
counter 60 times per second. We use this counter to
determine the new position of the star pixel when we animate.
