We sequenced the project to get something on the screen as early as possible. VGA timing and a single hardcoded square came first; everything else was layered on top of working pixels.

The biggest moment was M2 — the day all four of us watched a peashooter shoot a real pea at a real zombie, on a real CRT, with code we wrote.
