CRITTERS, BY JOE WALSH

The Critters program is my second foray into the world of Artifical
Life (A-Life, or AL).  It is also my first assembly language program
(other than the piddling programs typed in from the book Atari Roots,
and the even more piddling programs I made up to teach myself the
language).  Finally, Critters is a work-in-progress.

Simply put, the program creates a "world" on your screen, and borders
it with walls.  Then it randomly places some Critters (some male,
some female (males are inverse video, females are normal video)) and some
plants around the screen.
