In 1976 or so I wrote some code to play with graphics. It was to simulate
a fly-through a wire-frame dodecahedron to be displayed on a GT40 (this
one also had the lunar lander program). I do not recall now if my code
was cross-compiled on a TOPS-10 system or compiled right on the GT40 but
it certainly seemed like a standalone graphics computer....
