Yeah. I hurt my back this year at work and couldn't sit down long enough to code anything.
l can post the code for this one over christmas if anyone is interested?
I'm also doing a christmas greetings intro, oldskool of course, that I'll post as soon as I finish a new scroller effect.

I was bored today so i knocked up a quick remake in a couple of hours seeing as there's not been a great deal of activity here for a while and after I upgraded my current home PC.
Holy cow, everything is soooooooooo much faster now. i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz with 16gb ram, 1tb ssd, Nvidia GTX 960. My Bitmap tunnel even runs flawlessly now !
Anyway, here's the remake from Elite/NoExtra

When I get more time I want to have a selection of screen sizes to run it. Only 800x600 for now though as I was rushed for time.

Been messing about with some code recently and turned it into a Purebasic library for my own amusement. Fixing a few little niggles but will post it when I get back off my hols to Scotland soon.
Here's a couple of screenshots in the meantime.

« on: August 02, 2020 »
A remake of a classic screen from the Sowatt demo featuring lots of configurable sine dots, a multiple disted scroller and a nice vu.
I've changed the flashing ST disk light for the CAPS LOCK on one of the vu's.
Lots of keys to press on this one:
1 to 9 - preset dot forms.
F1-F2 music
Change dot form variables with the following keys:
F3-F10
Cursors keys Up/Down/Left/Right, with or without SHIFT pressed

« on: July 15, 2020 »
After watchiung the original demo screen many, many times i've changed a few things in mine like more accurate object origin points and a longer delay between objects. Also animated the green alien tail like thee original.
All of this would not have been possible without the excellent 3D routine by STARGÅTE and the original CODEF converison by Newcore. Credit where credit's due.
I've included the latest version (1.1) and source for this screen here too for you to delve into and use at your leisure. Don't forget to put the contents of the userlibraries folder into your own for the OSME.
Hope you enjoy.

This one uses simple Sprite clipping animation but I do have some code that does it. I'll dig it out and post it later.
It involves drawing a checker image on a Sprite then doing a transform on it. It works really well.
Check out my star wars scroller remake as it uses the same technique.

Edit
Here's the code for the checkerboard from my Equinox Castle Warrior remake and v1 of the Beatnic screen. Still fixing a couple of things.

« on: July 06, 2020 »
I have finally converted this screen for Purebasic after looking at the CODEF remake by Newcore. The 3D vertex data took some working out and converting, but i've written a tool to convert it now.
I ended up using the Drawing3D module from the Purebasic forum as the MP3D library is now dead and does not work on PB 5.50+
https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=53246
Still a few bugs and some tidying up to do but will releasing into the wild very soon.
Quick screenshots of work in progress.

Here are some new remakes.
These remakes have been converted from the COEF remakes by Dyno, Ayoros and Shazz. Without their initial code and ripping it would have taken an awful lot longer to figure out how they these screen were done. Many thanks to them for their excellent code.
ST Connextion - Lets Do Tthe Twist Again screen. This was awesome when it first came out. It's still pretty awesome now!
Pendragons - Fullscreen & Other Shit screen from the Lightning Demo.
ULM Intro - This was a pre demo for another screen they were to use in in the the GEN 4 demo comp in 1990.
Equinox - Castle Warrior cracktro.
And one more that i've always wanted to finish but could never work it out.
It was one of our groups cracktros, TCD, that I started writing in STOS because I was never any good at 68000 assembler. i could crack and file games but the dark art of cracktros always eluded me.
Anyway, I found the original STOS code and decided to have a go at finishing it for Windows with most of the original feel and text.
A starfiled, a bendy scrollerIt's, twisted pillars, and a text writer that flies around the screen and spits out the letters as it flies around. Looks very cool and i've finally worked out how to do it. I'll create a PB library for it to make it easier to use soon.
Screenshot only for now as I need to add a nice selector for this one.

Purebasic / ST Connexion screen remake
« on: June 16, 2020 »
Working on a two ST remakes again after digging the laptop out after 6 months, one in particular by ST Connexion. The Lets Do The Twist Again screen from the Punish Your Machine demo.
Here's the link to the online Codef version that I'm busy converting to PureBasic. Not long to go so when it's done i'll post the source if anyones interested?
The other is by the The Pendragons which just needs the screen selector added.

Here's the transparent image drawing code from a previous post.
It is kind native as 'Import' is a native command.
I suppose what I mean is that it doesn't use other libraries like MP3D, SDL etc. I use the above code as I can never get the DrawAlphaImage command to work correctly no matter what I do. Need more practice with it I guess.
Code: [Select]
Import "msimg32.lib"
TransparentBlt( hdcDest, nXOriginDest, nYOriginDest, nWidthDest, hHeightDest, hdcSrc, nXOriginSrc, nYOriginSrc, nWidthSrc, nHeightSrc, crTransparent )
EndImport
ProcedureDLL KK_DrawTransparentImage(DestImage,SourceImage,xdest,ydest,transcol)
hdcSrc2 = CreateCompatibleDC_(DestImage)
SelectObject_(hdcSrc2, ImageID(SourceImage))
TransparentBlt(DestImage,xdest,ydest,ImageWidth(SourceImage),ImageHeight(SourceImage),hdcSrc2,0,0,ImageWidth(SourceImage),ImageHeight(SourceImage),transcol)
DeleteDC_(hdcSrc2)
EndProcedureIt is kind native as 'Import' is a native command.

Purebasic / Aggression / D-Bug remake
« on: November 09, 2019 »
A long time ago, in a living room far, far away...
Actually back in August 2015 I downloaded this really cool fullscreen ST cracktro and thought I would have a go at remaking it but I never quite managed to pull it off as it had a big scroller that bounced in sync with a beat on one of the music channels. Try as I might I couldn't work it out. It always started ok but soon got out of sync. Lots of mathematical calculations were deployed and lots of hair pulled out. So last year I got in touch with the author, !Cube, who sent me his original 68000 code to look at and explained that the tune had a control code (zync code) that controlled the y position of the bounce! Dammit!!
I had already ripped the fonts and bounce data and coded the cool text writer before I got my hands on the 68k code but looking at it really helped but I still couldn't get it right.
I've actually lost count at the number of times i've dug this remake out and put it back down again - but one day at work last week, when I was supposed to be working, I had a brainwave, and the second I got in from work I tested it out and - Hoo-Fookin-Rah! It worked!!
Tested it on 2 completely different PCs and it's working ok - let me know if it works on yours.
Once i've made sense of my very old PB code, as it's been a while since I started it, i'll comment it and post it. There's lots of crap in there that doesn't need to be there, i'm sure.
[edit]
noticed a slight error in the text writer that is now fixed in the new exe.

Purebasic / Re: The Spotlight Demo remake (ST Connexion) - PB Source
« on: October 21, 2019 »
As promised, here's the PB source for the Spotlight Demo for you to tinker with and hopefully improve a bit.
I've already speeded up the prefetching of the sprites spotlight on the logo by 50% by moving a few lines around and creating a mask.
But if someone has a better way of drawing the spotlight sprite over the logo but not showing on the black background then i'm all ears as I couldn't think of another way of doing it.
I've commented it as much as possible and all spelling mistakes are obvoiusly intentional.

« on: October 21, 2019 »Does it have dependencies (dll's)The only dll it uses is the sndh replay which also reads the 3 sound channels which is windows only I'm afraid.
Would be cool if I can check this on my g4-ppc 10.3.9 osx purebasic environment.

It's all written in purebasic using only the native commands. No opengl or sdl. Nothing like that. Just the standard Purebasic 2d sprite commands.
I'll be posting the code once I've had a further tinker with it to speed up the sprite prefetching.

Purebasic / The Spotlight Demo remake (ST Connexion)
« on: October 19, 2019 »
Another demo remake. This time one from ST Connexion from the Dream Demo called the Spotlight Demo.
This was one of the early fullscreen/overscan demos for 1989 and very nice it is too on a real ST.
Contains a 3 plane starfield, vu bars, a pourdown/up logo (finally managed to convert that part !), a bendy/disted rastered scrolltext with reflection in the bottom border, and a moving spotlight that shines on the big central logo.
Learned a few new trick in PureBasic converting this one that I will share once I comment the code.
In the meantime though here's the 'finished' demo in the zip.
