Pan around a massive circle, have fun!

All it takes is 25 characters, it doesn't need any pixel buffers or raster effects!

Controls

• gamepad to move
• buttons to zoom

Notes:

• Zooming takes quite a lot of resources as all 20 * 16 = 320 cells have to be redrawn.

Based on:

• Cell-Circle Intersection Finder for the circle graphics (drawn with just 25 characters).
• Vector Terrain for the adaptive tile refreshing.

Update:

• fixed the extremely long and buggy loading when zoomed in really far

Update 2:

• made it slightly less likely to see gaps between the circle border and fill, but if you zoom in far enough they will still be there
