I felt they deserve a good presentation, especially the graphics and music releases for which no art pack/music disk exists. This pack comes with results viewer which also acts as a menu from where you can directly start all releases and read the readmes. The menu remains memory resident, so you don't have to load it again every time. This makes watching the graphics entries and listening to the music entries much more fun, especially on the real machine. If you use loadable speeders, you have to use the memory area $500-$5ff. For "SIO2SD TURBO" for example press "OPTION+START" at the boot screen. These are the controls for the menu: * Pressing any key while the menu is loading takes you to the DOS shell. * Pressing RESET in the menu performs a cold start. * Pressing RESET in while a release is running returns to menu, if possible. * Further controls are displayed in the menu itself. The following releases have been patched by me for your seamless pleasure: * SinVitro - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * SV 2k19 Invitation - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Monty on the Run - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Far Away - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Kompleks K-12 Teaser - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Second Life Syndrome - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Unsolved - Now works with BASIC enabled * Albert (demo) - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Beertime XL - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Soft Serve - Now performs cold start upon RESET instead of crash * Aatori - Now works with BASIC disabled * Colorful - Now runs from DOS 2.5, works with BASIC disabled * Rainbow - Now runs from DOS 2.5, works with BASIC disabled * Self-test - Now runs from DOS 2.5, performs warm start upon RESET * Sparks - Now runs from DOS 2.5, works with BASIC disabled, COR * Sparks 2 - Now runs from DOS 2.5, works with BASIC disabled, COR * UFO - Now runs from DOS 2.5, works with BASIC disabled * Silent Storm - Now runs from DOS 2.5 Original ASCII artwork by NE7, Music "WSL Intro" by Mozart, menu by JAC! This download also contains a pre-configured Altirra installation. Just extract the archive to a folder and run "SillyPack2k19.bat". - isokadded on the 2021-08-22 13:28:04

- Very enjoyable. Consistent color scheme. The music is really fitting very well and I actually like the free-spinning BPL pointer transitions.

Great prod, actually deserves and own compo :-) - rulezadded on the 2021-07-27 01:37:35
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS RULE 30 by Andromeda [web]
- I am always amazed to see people come up with new fresh ideas on OCS and other old machines. The fade effects and the hexagonal kaleidoscope are great. Very well done with an extremely atmospheric tune that immediately takes you back to the days when Amiga was new.

256 byte intro for SOMMARHACK 2021
v1.1
It's easy to output graphics to the
screen when size-coding, as long as
you use built in TOS primitives.
But where's the fun in that.
The font used for this intro is a
BlueSTar creation, and is exactly
the same as used in {Closure} and in
our Audio Sculpture v1.5 cracktro.
The text is 30 characters long. The
characters used from the font are
7 lines high. This means the graphics
alone uses 210 of the allowed 256
bytes. The code needed to output to
the screen and to set up palette and
interrupts would need another 58 bytes
(highly highly optimized).
210+58 is 12 bytes over the limit.
We did not want to change the idea.
We did not want to change the text.
The intro thus contains an extremely
optimized packer, with some similarity
to lz77. The depacker takes 26 bytes.
The packed graphics uses 164 bytes
instead of the original 210. 58 plus
164 plus 26 is only 248 bytes, the
missing 8 are needed to handle where
to depack to.
In a 256 byte intro sizecoding compo
saving 10% on the graphics including
the size of the depacker is a big win.
And that's the technical challenge
motivating the release of this intro.
Now go download what we link to :)
/Troed of SYNC
v1.1 released two days after the compo
fixes a TOS 2.06 depacking corruption
- thanks goes out to ggn
