Description:
It paints four triangles over eachother with a loop from 14 to 0,
placed so they create the 8-pointed star
Comments:
Saved a few bytes using the C construct a=b=c=d=42; for the painting
routine.
Slightly accidental that 42 is the screen code for *, and also the
number I had to use to offset the screen ram to place the star at the
top corner, but I kept it that way.
