I think further back, part of the idea may have been mine.

Originally I saw https://twitter.com/CasualEffects/status/1390290306206216196 which the author says was based on a pico8 original (which I remember seeing, but can't find now). Those earlier ones had the pong bats as well, but when I did the demake in basic, I couldn't fit the code into a tweet to get the bbcmicrobot to run it. So, I removed the bats.

Mine is a bit slow and janky, @rheolism (I think?) posted back a much faster, smoother version using custom characters instead of plotting, and then I saw a remake of the demake in processing? These things take a life of their own.

Anyway, long ago deleted my twitter account, but dug it out of the archive.
