What's the problem here, guys? Do you have no skill? 
This challenge is pretty easy for anyone with a rudimentary understanding of graphics commands. I think the no lib rule is what truly gives it the challenge. Any loser can slap together an ATB with a graphics library, but it takes skill to properly create a nice active visual scene without a backbuffer. And you don't even have to do it that way...you can always make your own backbuffer and your own buffered PUT...it's not tremendously difficult (maybe a little slow but certainly not impossible).
C'mon! You can do this! This is a freakin' cakewalk!
