- 40k demo Atari XL/XE Silly Things by JAC! [web]
>>> Silly Things (fixed) <<<
After 21 years of demo coding, I finally managed to enter a demo compo.
This one was created for Silly Venture 2010 in Gdansk.
The demo requires an Atari 800 alike computer with PAL GTIA and 64k RAM.
No extended memory is required - so I ended up with 43 bytes left ;-)
Thanks to 505 and OOZ for their contributions!
Silly Effects included:
- Silly Blur DYCP with 8 shades, running full screen on 50 FPS.
- Silly Logo in 16 shades animated during loading.
- Silly Textures morphing and spinning at 50 FPS.
- Silly Waves waving and spinning at 50 FPS.
- Silly Meter based on the volume of the 4 channels spinning at 50 FPS.
- Silly Scroll with 16x8 pixels and 6x8 font, spinning at 50 FPS.
- Silly Split vertical hardware graphics split 160x192 pixels at 50 FPS.
The split is used for the following presentation effects:
roller, shutter, wiper, striper, rotator, swinger
For more information, see the .nfo file. For those without an Atari, I have also provided a 50 FPS video as download. Streaming will follow, once I know how to do it.- isokadded on the 2010-12-12 15:48:01

Video please?
I posted the links and updates long ago in link me beautiful but the glöperators seem to bee too busy with other TV noises. You can also find the video links in the comments, well and here ;-)

- Before more people mistake this a a serious prod: It is not, as stated on the credits screen.

it still needs an Atari 8-bit emulator, so WTF ??!
If you read the doc you will notice that the files is generates run directly on the target platform of course. And if you look above you will see that the tool itself is an Atari prod, so, well, yes it needs and Atari. - isokadded on the 2010-11-16 17:48:47

But does it really save unique code for some of these platforms?
Yes it does, that's why it took so long to create it. And I have thank everybody who contributed as you can see on the credits screen after saving.
I had to leave out Mac, Windows and some others from the free version to the limited disk size of 131k. But for example the C64 version and all others mentioned above are for real and so are the screen shots. But of course there is some cheating involved elsewhere ;-)
Which error do you get during saving? Maybe the "H1:" is mounted read-only. - isokadded on the 2010-11-16 11:08:53

What's next? Porting the maker itself to every platform ?
That's why I chose "Atari byte code". Nowadays it can run virtually everywhere and even requires less resources than Java ;-)
Quote:No Mac support!
Like everything for Mac, it is there but costs money. I had strong arguments with Steve Jobs and in the end he stated "I'd rather install myself Flash on the iPhone than let you provide a free TV Noise Demo Maker for Mac". I'm truely very sorry about that. - isokadded on the 2010-11-16 02:07:03

- >> TV Noise Demo Maker <<
TV Noise Demo Maker (further on called "The Software") enables you to create TV Noise Demos for any platform even if you are one of "the fuck-leechers who can't even code 10 lines of code" ;-)
The software can create TV Noise Demos for all platforms irrespective of the host system which runs the TV Noise Demo Maker. The following short screen cam shows how to create and run a C64 TV Noise Demo on a Windows PC running an Atari Emulator.
The software gives you full control over every pixel with a simple to use and yet powerful user interfaces based on simply entering "0" or "1". This enables you to create everything from pure white noise to scary noises, ASCII art noises or new Pouet background noises. Here for example a small sample which I created without writing a single line of code within only about 6 days.
This archive contains the freeware version (with source) which is restricted to the following platforms: Amstrad CPC, Atari Falcon 030, Atari XL/XE, Commodore 64, Flash, JavaScript, Mobile Phone , MS-Dos, MS-Dos/gus, TI-8x, VIC 20, ZX Spectrum, ZX 81
The commercial version with support for all 83 platforms is available on request.
System requirements:
Any system with an Atari 800 XL virtual machine or emulator installation will run this software as fine as the original Atari 800 XL. The resulting files use GZIP compression, so WinRAR or similar software should be installed on the host system also.
Additional note:
I have been thinking about how to stop the TV Noise craze and came to the conclusion that there is only one way to do it: Once the effect is included in a demo maker for all platforms, it will not be cool enough anymore to release something , just because it's a different platform.
I hope it works. Any if not, I can still say: "Hey, I created the interactive paddle version in 32 bytes" ;-)
PS: The only reason why I have not selected all platforms in Pouet that I don't want to be the first one to see what happens then.
