  This video presents a way new programmers can improve their knowledge of binary/hexadecimal,  low level memory and binary operations by jumping in and attempting to write some fill routines for our retro computer environment, or RCE for short.   The RCE challenge provides a simple 1 bit plane display where the user is challenged to write various primitive drawing functions, ranging from the dots to circles.    These were skills 8bit & 16bit programmers had to master, but we're become spoiled, making such a challenge difficult for modern programmers.
