Here it is plotting

"Fedora" plot...
(I converted to BBC BASIC from Atari 8 bit listing on AtariAge forum)

1 MODE 0
2 VDU 19,1,1,0,0,0
3 DIM RR(320)
4 FOR I=0 TO 320:RR(I)=193:NEXT I
5 XP=144:XR=4.71238905:XF=XR/XP
6 FOR ZI=64 TO -64 STEP -.5
7 ZT=ZI*2.25:ZS=ZT*ZT
8 XL=INT(SQR(20736-ZS)+0.5)
9 FOR XI=0-XL TO XL STEP.5
10 XT=SQR(XI*XI+ZS)*XF
11 YY=(SIN(XT)+SIN(XT*3)*0.4)*56
12 X1=XI+ZI+160:Y1=90-YY+ZI
13 IF RR(X1)<=Y1 THEN 16
14 RR(X1)=Y1
15 PLOT 69, X1*4,800-Y1*4
16 NEXT XI:NEXT ZI

I ran @rheolism's program and got this.

This is AWESOME! Portal! Yes, PORTAL! On the PET!!!!!! And it's fantastic!!

Super Star Trek, which I have converted from the original 1970s (80 column printer terminal) source code. Now for the #Commodorer64 with some sympathetic enhancements such as NAVigation and TORpedo helpers. It's not perfect, but getting there. Still deliberately terminal based!

It's funny. It's only now that I've made a .gif of the old Boing Ball demo, and I see it before it animates, that I realize exactly how they did it. There's no animation of the ball. Just colour-cycle it, and let the Amiga's hardware move it around. Genius. 🤓

Not sure why it never occurred to me to try my favorite retro demo program on an 80 column PET. Universe wrong now righted. Happy Wednesday! #commodore #PET #retrocomputing

Something is in the pipes and it brought me back to the lovely big blue for a little bit. Stay tuned! #Commodore64
