How it works
Races the beam! Font is pre generated and loaded into registers. 6 bit colour keeps register count low.
Every minute the colours cycle.
How to test
Hook up a VGA monitor to the outputs and provide a clock at 31.5 MHz.
Adjust time with the inputs[2:0], and choose the type of VGA PMOD with the input[3].
External hardware

Set input[3] low to use tiny-vga and high to use vga-clock
