Still Coding - TACF's first release in a very long time.

Four of us (Sine, Lucifer, Detail, Cino) met again after decades and
decided to make one more Atari demo, together with LYRA (Claude) as our
fifth element. Effects, disk-loaded parts, a jukebox with the old tunes
and the greetings we never got to send.

Runs on a real PAL 800XL/XE with 64 KB and BASIC off, or right in your
browser: tacf.party

Thanks to everyone who kept the scene alive. Old friends. New pixels.

Most of the code and the theme were written with LYRA (Claude, an AI) as our fifth element; the ideas, photos, greetings and direction are ours.

The name of this slop is a fuckin' joke.

I ask myself if it’s time to give Claude a pouet/demozoo-account, so that it can be credited properly. ;o)

fuck off

I’m trying to avoid this shit but this one is a step too far. “Thanks to everyone who kept the scene alive” - man, if you meant that on any level, you should have considered showing your “thanks” in a way that doesn’t actively ferment the further and ongoing destruction of the demoscene as the rest of us know it.

I hope your midlife crisis (and I’m looking specifically at YOU here, “Lucifer”) was worth it.

You are, in fact, not still coding. Come back when you are.

Oh, the greetings are yours, are they? Wow.

Fuck all the way off with your fucking AI shit

For me, Utopia’s comment above also being written by Claude just puts a cherry on top of the cake of all of that.

At this point the only explanation left as to why release something like this is a humiliation kink.

Really pitiful. If you wanted to make a life sign: a simple self-coded scrolly would have been enough and people would smile and be happy that you guys are still around. Instead, you basically hire someone else (a robot owned by a big corporation) to "code" some stuff for you. Nothing could be further from old scene spirit than that. Remember how it was back in the old days: only the lamest groups would actually buy an intro from someone else (and yes, there were cases like this on c64 and Amiga). This is in no way different.

...and you just lost me with the lyra (claude) part.

if you still got it, we would've known if it was hand-written code on top of whose credited for the theme; but no, you just talked to a damn chatbot and let it do the dirty work for you lol.

you are literally, NOT coding.

Slöp

No

Is there a video or something?

It’s ironic that, while calling yourselves "coding freaks" and titling the demo "Still Coding," you end up handing off the entire programming workload to Claude.

A bit disappointing, isn’t it?

The title made me hoping for some counter-statement to vibe coding, like we still proudly code by hand in the current year (I hate this term, by hand btw). Yet I got the opposite.

Also, what is Lyra, a new model? Maybe I don't want to know..

I googled it, it's actually a framework that also generates the prompts for you. I can't stop laughing!

wait I get to eat good tonight?

trolololol

lel this gotta be ragebait

our friend mrdoob aka untraceable already unsuccessfully tried that

This is a joke, right?

sadly not a very funny one :(

it's called a SINE SCROLLER, say it with respect

glöp

Wow, so much hate here.
I imagine these guys just wanted to have a good time together.

…and you being a known & professed AI stooge is just a coincidence…

What kb_ said.
