Top notch stuff of course. What else did you expect?

again - pretty awesome stuff. however, i think you should hook up with a graphician for next release

Incredible. Your best prod since Craft, and in some way even better.

Simply AWESOME!

It's always a pity, that I can't enjoy those in realtime.

I guess the real challenge for him would be to make something awesome on a standard platform. ;)

Really great flow in this one. By far one of my favourite lft productions. I concur with noby, definitely the best stuff since Craft.

Really nice music and great style.

The insanity goes on, and even forgetting the hardware skills involved, lft's demos alone are still marvelous to watch always with spectacularly great music and great effects. I am wondering, oh I am wondering, will it ever end? What else we will see in the future from lft? This is real demomaking in the core!

demo had some really cool parts, but was COMPLETELY overshadowed by the BRILLIANT music :D Great stuff!
rulez added on the 2012-04-09 12:07:25 by ferris ferris
Difficult to judge, on one hand you have 167 MHz for this, on the other you have to bitbang the VGA. Damn, so the design wins. At least. ;)

not really happy about color choices, some of the production on the sound. but am a massive lft fanboy nonetheless. : D Technically impressive vis a vis building own CPU, however. Preferred direction and design on Craft and Turbulence (second especially lovely). Understand limitations.
hardcore :)

._________.*!!! Shock And Awe! The demo itself was wonderfully crafted with interesting scenes, a very nice tune and great effects overall, some retro (metaball), some modern. But creating the whole CPU, GPU, VGA-out, audio path, loader, ... around it is simply mindsplitting! o_O
rulez added on the 2012-04-10 16:43:03 by scooper22 scooper22
Last year I was already hoping and speculating when Linus would show up with his own demo platform on an FPGA.

Well this year he did!! Very very cool! I can not imagine how many hours of work you spend on developing your own building blocks like the CPU, Blitter (with pixel shader support) and the FM-synthesizer. Then putting it all together in your own digital circuit AND writing your own demo for it.

This is outstanding!!! Congratulation on your win!

What next? Expanding your own FPGA-based demo platform to include building blocks capable of synthesizing voices and such? Or something totally different?

Surprise us Linus! Keep it up! :-D

Very cool demo, nice music, and obviously this was a shitload of work. However, Craft was way more impressive. The FPGA used is extremely powerful and is capable of much, much more.
