This is a short demo (roughly 4k) that acts out a scene from near
the ending of the 1983 movie Wargames.
Details
This came about when I was working on adding SSI-263 speech chip
support to the Peasant's Quest port. The computer voice sounded
vaguely like Joshua.
I've always wanted to have a nice screensaver with the big
nuclear war scenario. This isn't quite it, but it's a start.
Had to dredge up a lot of high-school algebra and calculus to get those
parabolas drawn.

Capture running in AppleWin. Note I don't have an SSI-263 chip
currently so I can't test on real hardware.

System Requirements
Any sort of Apple II should work (II/II+/IIe)
Need a mockingboard with optional SSI-263 chip installed
Should work under Applewin
Note that it won't work under MAME as it emulates the older
SC-01 speech chip which isn't compatible.
Threw map together, the speech, and some nice lines and parabolas.
There's a C program that takes the screen co-ordinates and creates
the input for the trajectories, so in theory you could do a lot
more than just the scenario shown.
