General coding questions / Cicada principle
« on: April 20, 2012 »
It seems like this would be good for making small demos

Anyone used principles like this before?

General coding questions / Re: LISP?
« on: February 03, 2012 »
Hey spathi, I'm giving LISP a go too. It's good to try something completely different to improve your programming abilities.  I am reading "Land of Lisp: Learn to Program Lisp, One Game at a Time! by Conrad Barski" which is a really fun book that reminds me of the excitement of first learning programming from Usbourne books for the BBC micro :)
I wonder if anyone has written a cool demo in LISP?

General chat / Demo party?
« on: July 28, 2011 »
So I was thinking of going to sunrise but then decided probably not as I think I'd be a hanger on. I don't even have a laptop to take... and I wouldn't be making any production. But I've never been to a (demo) party before so don't know what to expect. Anyone able to enlighten me?

Wow really liking this effect. I didn't catch the original but this is great. Well done.

zawran: yes I agree I wouldn't normally bother to download something I need to get dlls for.

I attach the demo recompiled with static libraries. Thanks for the tip Jim.
This is the first time I've played about with these visual studio settings so I can't guarantee it will work (I haven't got a way of testing it sorry).

I can't help I'm afraid as I don't have another machine to try it on.
Maybe I shouldn't have built it with VS2010

Thanks guys.
Yeh it's my first complete intro, although I have played around with individual effects using SDL.

AH sorry about the missing runtime dlls. I'm on XP 32-bit and I have only tried it on XP and Vista machines.

Hi,
After a long break from demo coding (my last demo was a 256 byte), I had a play with C++ and SDL and this is what I came up with. Seems a bit amateurish compared to some of the stuff in this forum, but I had fun making it :) It's the kind of thing I always wanted to make back in the DOS days when I had no skill. I first saw this lissajous effect in Cronologia  by cascada.
I hope it's OK to include the music with this, it was a freely available remix of nemesis the warlock on http://www.remix64.com. And I hope it's OK to use your font shockwave.
If not then I guess this post better get deleted...

Enjoy...

General chat / Re: Windows 7
« on: February 03, 2010 »
Thanks for your replies everyone. I still find it fun to do mode 13h with asm, but I can probably live without it - there's plenty of other stuff I want to play with and limited time :)
A friend of mine had performance problems on win 7 with the desktop window manager using all of one of her cpus  - but I don't know the spec of her pc. It was probably underspecced for win 7.
I think I've made my choice. Off to get my Vista upgrade.

General chat / Windows 7
« on: February 02, 2010 »
Anyone tried demo coding on Windows 7 yet....I downgraded to XP from Vista because I couldn't run DOS ASM and do 256 byte demos (that and Vista made me mad). But now I'm thinking of getting Win7 as it's supposed to be good....so does it run DOS programs OK fullscreen?

There's always DOSBOX I suppose but not always fast enough. Or a virtual machine with FreeDOS in it could work.

General chat / cool demo tool

Hi everyone,

Sorry if you've already seen this but I think this tool I noticed over at pouet is awesome.
Realtime update of the opengl display as you code  :o

ASM / DOS segment access
« on: June 16, 2009 »
Hi,
I'm struggling to remember this from my DOS programming days, so does anyone know if in a DOS (or at least DOS VM under winXP) COM program; is it ok to make use of the unused memory in the code segment or do i have to request memory via an interrupt call to dos? I was hoping to use memory after the offset at the end of my code to the end of the segment for a buffer :) Maybe that's cheating for a 256 byte demo anyway :)

ASM / Re: 256 byte demo
« on: June 07, 2009 »
Heh thanks for your kind comments everyone :updance:
I like the effect in NIETAKT. Amazing what some people can fit in so few bytes!

I'm in cambridgeshire...so quite a way to devon and not sure about transport. It would be good to meet some like minded people though.

ASM / 256 byte demo
« on: June 07, 2009 »
Hi guys,
I've been hanging out in this forum just reading for a long while, so I thought it was time I gave something back...

I took vista off my pc this weekend and downgraded to xp, so I thought I'd try some oldskool assembly and a 256 byte demo.
Any comments welcome, but be kind this is a first try for me and I'm still learning  ;D
I wanted to see if it was possible to do some sort of "scroller" (it doesn't really scroll, can I call it a scroller?) in 256 bytes as I haven't seen one before.

Great forums btw.
Would love to go to sundown this year...as I haven't been to any demo parties before...but don't know yet.
