Multitasking Mouse Draw Demo v1.1
24 Feb 2014

Changes to system since version 1.0:

- Individual Process Priority table
- Sleeping process table
- NEWPROC is now a generalized system call and can be used within processes
- NEWPROC is changed to accept a process priority in the Y-register
- System now allows as many as 6 total processes
- Context switch optimization for when there is only 1 process
- CREATEALL only creates initial process 0 with priority of $16
- New SLEEP system call allows processes to temporarily suspend execution

Changes to processes since version 1.0:

- There are now 4 total processes
- New process 3: follows mouse presses and plots coordinates on text screen
- Process 0 now creates processes 1, 2, and 3
- Process 1 has a lower priority and calls YIELD after each plot
- Process 1 calls SLEEP for 8 cycles after plotting an entire row
- Process 2 has the lowest priority
- Process 2 calls SLEEP for 4 cycles before it begins plotting
