• demo Amiga OCS/ECS TM2: Attack of the Ego Bots by Zymosis
• @chavez: The codec is specialised for 4 bpp pictures, which are somewhat uncommon on Amiga. Also the images are compressed in chunky mode (for better compression ratio), so 4 bpp C2P is required prior to display. The 68000 assembly decompressor is handcrafted to leverage 2-pixels-per-byte optimisation opportunities as well, and there are a few caveats like 64K of 64K-aligned work state and highly unrolled loops.
  
  It's all not tidied up and was barely ready in time, let alone having any documentation.
  
  So... not sure how useful it'd all be, really.
  
  I guess it's up to CJam to write an article about the codec itself or post the Python code somewhere, but it'd require quite some work to make it useful for more common Amiga bitmap usecases.

• I was well-entertained while keeping thinking about a way to bitmap-crawl things smoothly on that, uh, platform.

  It looks more and more like this prod was made to get people mad

  As stated before, no, it wasn't. But regardless of any actual or perceived intention, what's the lesson about it getting people mad? (We genuinely don't know.)

• Downthumbs in themselves are all fine and dandy. It's the butthurt that came rather unexpectedly. :)

• @bifat I merely meant different variants of the same letter (not only the "I" crossbar vs pipe). Sorry for using the wrong word, didn't want to imply it's "improper" as it is now. 'Tis just fine! =)

• Imho, it's quite perfectly paced for what it is: a demo - so no user interaction (by default).
  
  Imagine it'd have hurried through the panels like mad, giving the watcher no time to read and take it all in.
  
  Animated panels (or proper lettering) would have been nice, but there was no time for that. We ran into the dreaded party-coding scenario even. =)

• "It's artistic and technical enough to pass as a demo". Really, the machine is quite maxed out and there are a few technical innovations in there. It's certainly not just a slideshow (if only because of on-the-fly bubble and text rendering), and nothing in its style contradicts it being demo-ish (nor the party's compo rules). Except maybe people's expectations of the default demo style, which may be challenged now and again.
