The people who commented that this challenge was difficult were right.
I tried for a few nights and binned a couple of attempts, I'll stop here for now as I have to dedicate some more time to forum maintanence.
Anyway, here's a start to the challenge, no doubt it will be beaten comprehensively but it was fun :)
Light sourced vectors.
Animated mathematical background texture.
Copperbars.
Sine Scroller.
All on screen at once drawn using 160 X 120 pixels and with only 4 colours on screen.
Code, font : Me.
Music: Rob hubbard.
Tools: PTC Ext (Rbz), Tinysid (stormbringer).
Software rendering :D
Hope you like it a bit!

Cool this has given me some ideas, a good start to the compo. The music suits the low res theme. Didnt realise the pixels would be so big at 160*120.
-
If you want to use dithering to make a lot of colours 160 X 120 mostly rules it out, the comp allows hi res stuff too though as long as you only use 4 colours :)
Using both criterea well will be very difficult I suspect. :)
-
Awesome first entry.
Really transport you back to the old days. Look spectrum
stylish somehow. Really good work, Shocky - and so fast!
-
Very nice first entry

Hardcore Pixel Madness ;D
Good work!
-
:) Thanks for the nice comments!
Great to come back from work and see people like it!
-
Good work Shockie my sort of colours.
Definitely reminds me of some of the graphics used on the Spectrum
:clap:
-
Apart from the dreaded spinning cube, this is very good indeed. Very clear and easy to see. A lot of dithering fx end up looking like digital soup.

I really think you have done a nice jopb working within such restrictions. Great style and interesting colors.
-
Ooh, nice choice of colours, I had to count them to check there were only four ;)
-
I totally dig the scroller and the cube and a very good choice of colours.
The overlapping rasters tend to produce rather confusing bit-structures, though. Maybe those would work better in a smaller window - or my screen is just too big ;)
-
very good but it not easy challange!
good luck to everyone who take the challange :)
:cheers:

Same here. I just have to stand back a bit :)
-
I really like this.

Thanks for the comments folks!
As for a 24 " screen, I can only dream..
Seriously just out of curiosity I went to a custom build pc website and built a PC that I thought I'd like and it would have cost me £3,800!

Super cool product. Blew me away. 10 / 10
I'm gonna use this demo from now on to wake me up in the mornings!
The power and tempo in this is just ... totally WOW! :clap:
-
Thanks Praecor :)
I don't think this is 10% as cool as what you made though.

Not really, this has some oldschool feeling to it which is just unbeatable.
