The PDP-1 also had a very interesting feature, which is that it was possible to write interesting programs in very few instructions. Fewer than any other machine since then. I believe for example that the famous display hack &ldquo;munching squares&rdquo; which made squares that get bigger and break up into lots of smaller squares which gets bigger and break up into smaller squares. That was written in something like five instructions on the PDP-1. And many other beautiful display programs could be written in few instructions.
