Careful That This ZX81 Ghost Doesn't Pass Over Your Grave
A little ZX81 ghost floats over a graveyard in my Halloween animation. I started with a game idea but kept things short, simple, and just a little spooky.
Ever get a sudden shiver and have someone tell you that somebody walked over your grave? Well, my ZX81 has a little ghost that might be responsible. I wanted something quick and easy for Halloween, and a cute ghost floating over a graveyard seemed just the thing.
# A little haunting for Halloween.
I originally thought about making a game. But I decided to keep this one short and focus on an animation instead. Sometimes it's fun to put together a little scene and let the ZX81 do its thing.

The idea was a playful take on that old saying. Although this ghost floats over your grave rather than walks over it, I figure it still counts. It looks a little too cute to be much of a threat, but if you feel a shiver while watching, don't blame me!
# Let a ghost haunt your ZX81.
There's no score to chase or ghost to catch. Just a little spooky fun for Halloween, which was all I really wanted this time around.
Want to try it out? You can run the program, or view the code if you'd like to see how it works.
Happy Halloween! Watch out for any ghosts passing over your grave.
