This seems vastly improved with speed control ie input pixels per frame you want the laser pulse to transverse each loop in main code.

' 2023-07-16 rename to Bolt from Bloom and comment better and make more generic
' 2023-07-17 Bolts 2: move the bolt down the BoltLine by speed like a bullet.
' BoltLine: Imagine a line with a thickness at one end and a different thickness at then other.
' Colored like I imagine a Laser beam yellowish white core with bluish tinge around the edges.
' Now draw sections of that BoltLine according to the frames of display in main loop.
' This is a demo of that!

Const PulseLength = 100 ' length of light pulses as they travel down BoltLine
