Interactive demos for True BASIC.
The interactive demos are taken primary from the 3D Graphics Demo suite
and let the user interactively set the camera positon in 3D space.
The colormap-based demos exhibit True BASIC's approach to shared and dynamic
color cells. True BASIC tries to share resources by using read-only colors.
However, some applications may require specific color mixes that are not
available in the default or standard colormaps. True BASIC provides access
to the read-write colormap cells through the statement SET MODE "dynamic".
In this manner, True BASIC conserves resources by using read-only colors
while providing access to private, read-write color cells.
The demo record.tru shows how objects can be animated by taking snapshots of
an object in various states and then replaying the images.
