• Thank you for the kind comments and ratings. I always read all the comments. Now it's time to share a few details with you.
  
  General
  A few weeks after the release of Talking Heads , Lord proposed to release another smaller production by the end of the year. He had something in mind with waves. But I had no idea at all what new things could be done with waves. In my opinion, Zodiac has already made the most beautiful waves on the Amiga in his Zappel demo. So another function plotter was out of the question. But then I suddenly had this idea with Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album cover respectively the data of the pulsar CP 1919. Then it started under the working title "UP" (Unknown Pleasures). However, it was clear that the demo would eventually be called something else. The name "Joy to the World" was in the running for a long time. After a short discussion with Ferris, Gargaj and Spenot we decided to use Monochrome.
  
  Tech
  To draw many short lines with the blitter, the initialization effort of the individual partial lines is too big. And for removing hidden lines you need the pixel coordinates of the lines, if you don't want to do this by filling areas. Anyway, it just takes too long. Conclusion: the lines are drawn with Bresenham's line algorithm (CPU).
  
  For the real-time "spectrum analyzer", I first considered doing this with precalculated FFT data. But the amount of data would be too big and I suspect that it would not look so good. Now the instruments simply trigger peaks on the x axis. The played tones/samples can be intercepted well in the Light Speed Player.
  
  The logo effect (some of you call it wipe or swipe) came about quite spontaneously. Lord first offered to draw a logo. However, I told him to wait with it, because I had an idea. And that idea looks pretty good to me now. The 4 "celestial directions" are made with 3 bitplanes and 1 sprites layer.
  
  Fun facts
  Lord wished for a snowfall effect at the end of the demo. However, I found it too playful for the rather minimalist mood. So I didn't implement it. But there is a small apology in the form of a hidden message. Maybe you just hold something down during startup or look into the source code. ;-)
  
  Q&A
  KONEY, moredhel: hi-res was actually the idea at the beginning. Somehow, however, I didn't pursue it any further.
  ROG: To answer your question what comes next: probably something completely different. Stay tuned. Needs some more time.
