That's a very cool accomplishment.
What language did you use to write the code?
I also have another question, did you witness the transition from punched cards to terminals?

And yes, I saw that transition. I learned to program using Fortran IV and IBM 11/30 assembly in the mid-70s, using punched cards. Wrote a MIXAL assembler and simulator for the minicomputer at the local college around 1976; it was about 7000 punched cards in length, all assembly. Got a Commodore PET in 1978, moved on to SS-50 based 6809 and 68008 systems in the late 70s/early 80s, with a serial terminal.

1. Reader, I filled it up.
You could have made a significant amount of money betting against my technical predictions over the last few decades.
