[Coco] Back to BASIC

[Steve Strowbridge]

Happy Easter everyone!

I have come up with a small demo showing off the CIRCLE command that was
recently covered in chapter 19 of my series.
This demo shows off the various ways to create circles, including the
RADIUS, the Height and Width, and starting and ending positions of ARCs,
both forward and reverse.

I have showed what the demo looks like, and what to expect, and I thought
it would be cool to set this up as a challenge for somebody to re-create
their own version of this demo and then send it to me, and I'll show off
the contributions I get.

Here is the video of the demo:

Love to see what people come up with.
