The classic "Munching Square" running in 32 bytes on a RISC-V microcontroller,
using two DAC channels for vector graphics on an analog oscilloscope.
Quintus Quadratus is designed for GD32VF103 microcontrollers and
draws vector graphics on an analog oscilloscope in XY mode
connected to
GND and the two DAC channels on pins
PA4 (vertical) and
PA5 (horizontal).

Design ideas:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a RISC-V port of the classic "Munching Square", as no architecture
in demoscene can be considered complete without this timeless effect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to run:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have connected your
Longan Nano board to
a USB-serial cable with 3.3V logic levels
3V3 or 5V -- VCC (measure the voltage present here)
R0 -- TXD
T0 -- RXD
GND -- GND
you can flash it if you first
* Press and hold BOOT0 button
* Press and release Reset button
* Release BOOT0 button
and then execute
stm32loader -e -w -v -p /dev/ttyUSB0 quintus-quadratus.bin
on your host machine.
Press and release Reset button to start demo.
