Light bulbs with decay?

[mengstr]

While working with my 8080 CPU simulation I realised that older computers with front panels having incandescent indicator lights would actually show how often a particular bit (or instruction/anything else) was active by its analogue nature. An indicator that only got 100 short pulses per second would be less bright compared to one that got hit 1000 or 10000 times a second.

I guess it wouldn't be too hard to patch the light bulb component here to have a decay that dimmed the light step by step over X amount of clock cycles. Im not sure how the timing should be specified - I guess using the highest frequency of all active clocks in the design would be appropriate.

Maybe I'd give that a try next weekend and see if I'm able to pull that off with my crappy java skills ;-)
