Anachronaut a02d701efe Two zoom levels on a button, which the device already had
Forty columns and eighty are the same map, the same 8x8 cells and the
same engine; only how many of them fit differs. The map is 128 by 128
either way and the moon is exactly 128 columns of it. And the front end
scales whatever it is handed by the largest whole number that fits, so
320 by 200 at four times and 640 by 400 at twice fill the same glass.

So the two modes ARE two zoom levels and nothing in the video device had
to change to get them: forty columns shows under a third of the moon at
twice the size, eighty shows nearly two thirds. Out for the orbit, in for
the landing, and B says which.

What did have to change is every screen coordinate in Lander, because the
middle of the screen is 160 on one and 320 on the other. They now live in
one block that setView copies over from whichever of two tables matches
the mode, so a gauge reads a variable and never has to know which screen
it is on. Several coordinates became sixteen bit on the way, since 620
will not go in a byte. follow already read HalfScreen and showLander
already writes the world position straight through, so the lander itself
needed nothing but its resting column.

The moon is redrawn on a swap because it is filled as many rows deep as
the mode shows, and a moon drawn 25 deep on a screen showing 50 floats
over nothing.

The swap is edge triggered. A pad is LEVEL and not an event, so a view
that swapped while B was down would swap sixty times a second - which is
not a zoom, it is a strobe, and it redraws the whole moon each time. The
check for that holds the button for three hundred frames and requires the
lander to land where a six frame tap left it; with the edge dropped it
ends seventeen pixels adrift, which is the strobe costing it frames.

Four checks, each seen to fail on its own break. The README's Lander
entry also still described the relief orbit that the previous commit
replaced, and now describes the one that is there.
