Author: Harm Backer Category: Christmas Challenge System: IBM PC resp. Windows 11 with DOSBox Language: 8086 Assembler Len source code: 421 Len exe file: 77 Len code only: 69 Instructions: Install DOSBox create folder VCCC2025 as subfolder of DOSBox folder copy program VCCC2025.com to VCCC2025 subfolder Use DOSBox with following autoexec entries: --- snip --- @echo off mount C C:\DOSBOX c: cd \VCCC2025 cls VCCC2025.com echo. pause exit --- snip --- Description: There is a pattern table to define the stars in the lower right quarter. Once a star is printed there, it is rotated 4 time counterclockwise bevor the next star is taken. Finally, a single line is drawn on top of the lower right quarter. Every single star of that line is rotated same way as described above. To show the snowflake it doesn't matter in which quarter we start and which direction the Rotation goes but with the chosen way the routine ends at the lowes Position of the snowflake so the pause message of the OS does not destroy the snowflake. Comments: This is my 5th time I was in the VCCC and still have fun doing it. Thank you Logiker!
