Using Mu to play with some ideas from Hest by Ivan Reese

Mysterious picture showing a few squares connected by red and orange edges. There's a counter ticking off instants of time on the top right.

Putting more animation and control of time into the debugging experience.

I was just reminded of the existence of an idea called double-buffering.

It's easy to add.

The current implementation is quite naive. Copies one byte at a time, makes several redundant copies per byte. In spite of all that, it makes a huge difference in video quality.
