Oct 6, 2016 at 21:02 comment added MrWhite Aside: "The number of bombs depends on the exception vector" - say what?! Any reason why they couldn't output the actual code/error? (Never had an ST, I'm from the Amiga camp... "Guru Meditation" and all that.)

Oct 5, 2016 at 11:48 comment added Arnauld @PeterCordes - That's right, it must be ASCII. However, you'd be allowed to read the bomb graphics from the ST ROM since there's no rule that prevents you from doing it. (Just mention the TOS version this is supposed to work on.)
Oct 5, 2016 at 2:32 comment added Peter Cordes I notice you've excluded non-ASCII-art forms, so an Atari ST machine-code function that crashes with the right number of bombs doesn't count. (The bomb isn't in the font, but the Atari ST has fun/easter-egg glyphs in its native character set, including characters 28–31 that are 4 pieces that form the image of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs from the satirical Church of the SubGenius. I remember writing a program that spammed those 4 glyphs at random screen positions, as a very early exercise in using text-drawing system calls :)
