Anyone else fancy a go at this simple retro-programming challenge, its just for fun

Here's mine in SC/MP assembler, but the rules say not to divulge source or code size yet!

That's surprisingly fast!

I was ready to give it a go but realised that to keep the diamond shape requires a 19 character square, so doesn't work with the MK14 (16 characters wide). It could be done in graphics mode but I think the rules are that it needs to be identical to the example (so using asterisks).

I think I used # out of habit

Mr Logiker says the rules are 'flexible' as its just for fun...
I've since had a couple of ideas so might have another try for a smaller binary...

I missed the deadline last year cos I failed to read the submission instructions properly (the xmas star)
