Luland by MoonHazard [web]

Moonhazard presents GBA demo: "Luland".
Our entry for GBAX.com 2004 competition.

IMPORTANT!
----------
If   you   watch  this   demo  via   emulator,  please
use  VisualBoyAdvance.   Of  course we prefer watching
with real hardware but, for  example, CowBite emulator
plays it really  slow  and  shows  no  blended sprites
(in this case, none of the sprites).  Otherwise,  just
start  the   program   and  (hopefully)  enjoy  it! :)


TECHNICAL BULLSH**
------------------
All effects and 3d in this demo are realtime calculated.
Every of them are in Mode 4. Scenes:
1) Full-resolution textured 3d model, 309 triangles,
   203 vertices, 4 64x64 blended sprites as layer.
2) Radial blur effect 2x2 pixels, on a 1x1 textured 
   sphere, 224 triangles, 164 vertices, blended sprites
   as layer
3) Box object consists of flat triangles, antialiased
   wireframe on it, 240x160 image background, block
   effect in blended sprite as layer.
4) Twist object, full resolution, width 33% of screen
   width.
5) Almost full-resolution texturized scene, man sitting
   on the ground, block effect overlay in sprite. 520
   triangles, 493 vertices.
6) Tunnel effect background, envmapped object going around
   around, block effect, credits.
7) Mech-scene, 455 triangles and 1142 (!) vertices. Block
   effect on it. Cameras suck, this scnee running way too
   long, but that's laziness you know :)
8) End of demo, some noise for ya :)

Yes, some of the scenes have fps quite down, but yep,
GBA isn't actually meant to be used in 3d games, but
2d sprite-based ones. If you think the CODE is very
slow, well, please prove it and do it better yourself :)

FEW WORDS
---------
Ok, I had the 3d engine almost working since February,
and we've used it in some productions already. We started
to produce this demo on Tuesday, 5 days before deadline.
Most code is written in C, some critical parts in arm asm.
