# Draw pixels in response to keyboard events, starting from the top-left
# and in raster order.
#
# To build a disk image:
#   ./translate_mu_baremetal baremetal/ex3.mu     # emits disk.img
# To run:
#   qemu-system-i386 disk.img
# Or:
#   bochs -f baremetal/boot.bochsrc               # boot.bochsrc loads disk.img
#
# Expected output: a new green pixel starting from the top left corner of the
# screen every time you press a key (letter or digit)
