In the spirit of introductions, I'm also Stephen Horn on the Facebook group, I wrote a modestly popular (and emphatically unofficial) reference guide for the Vera 0.7 and 0.8. Instead of updating that guide for Vera 0.9, I've instead been working (albeit glacially) to update the reference and provide samples over on the X16 emulator's Github wiki, where it'll be easier for folks to make their own edits and harder for folks to accidentally edit things they didn't mean to (as maybe 30-40 mistakes were made in the Google doc for every genuine correction or suggestion).

I've also made a couple of small demos. Dave called my Matrix text crawl his favorite from the early set that made it into his Dream Computer part 2 video! It was still using a placeholder name, though, "Greenspace", literally copy-pasta'd from a Super NES demo that I was using to learn 6502 development. It's proper name is Matriculate. Sadly, it still needs to be updated for r37. But I do have a demo recently updated for r37 (x16-racer), so hopefully Matriculate will get some love soon.

I have a habit of making silly mistakes when I do math in a Facebook thread, feel free to call me out on it when you see it. ?
