About this executable study

This reconstruction separates Avis Rara from the combined 1985 exhibition selector while preserving its own title sequence, random color and placement, rotating scale construction with shape 1, and the following random-pitch XDRAW passage of shape 2.

The original 21-byte Apple II speaker routine is recreated with Web Audio. Timing and pitch behavior were recalibrated against the three-run Virtual ][ recording. In v1.2, the first apparition is accelerated by 1.8× relative to v1.1 while the validated second passage remains unchanged; browser sound remains a representative reconstruction rather than a cycle-exact emulation of the Apple IIe speaker.
