The Welcoming Committee

[hifi]

Hey All!

Was deeply involved with the ANSi/ASCii scene in the 90's, ran a few bbs's, was in a few art groups, and warez groups - made a few loaders with a friend and looking to get back into things with my spare time hoping to learn something cool and new from here

Thanks,

[boogop]

Welcome, hifi! I'm a total sucker for old ascii art in readmes, nfos and what not. I have a collection around here somewhere. And I have fond memories of the old single-line BBSs. Crawl out from under your rock on Friday or Saturday nights, dial up a bbs, read whatev forums, download any new demos that may have appeared, play some tradewars and what not. Seriously good times.

Hello all,

Nice to see some oldskool ascii fans in the previous posts. 

Well it's nice to be back on DBF again (hey Shock!) and I'm really picking up the slack on my old forums after a long hiatus. I think its the fact I'm resurrecting an Amiga A500 so I must be getting all nostalgic again.

I haven't really noticed how active this forum is nowadays but I did always prefer forums as a chat medium and they offer more personality than social media groups.

Hello hifi!

I *loved* the 90's ACSII scene.  I used to collect as much stuff as possible to view on my Amiga including nfo's, readme.1st's, etc, etc.

Did dabble myself using Blacks Editor on my Amiga 1200 and produced a few collies, but was never part of a group or anything.

Hi aNdy and welcome aboard. I loved the ASCII/ANSI scene back in the good old Amiga days. Soooo many lovely works of art <3

Hey everyone!

I haven't been part of the demoscene (so far), but was always following it with admiration from the outside.
I'm interested mostly in sizecoding, 64k, 4k and such stuff. Popped in to see the challanges / tutorials and of course the work of others, so I might learn a thing or two surely while here

Hi roptr! There are plenty of resources here for you to take a look at, at, while things are a little quieter around here (especially in the summer months) there will usually be someone here to answer your questions and give pointers. Welcome aboard

Hey everyone,

root42 from Germany here. I never was part of any noteworthy efforts in demo scening back in the day, but visited Evoke a couple of times, and am interested in the scene. I currently do a YouTube series "Let's Code MS DOS" where I also cover some demo scene effects, explaining how they work and basically doing walkthroughs on how to code. I won't advertise this here, but you can look me up if you like.

I mainly want to ask questions here for my research on the topics. Also want to share the code that I come up with. That's available after every video anyway, but you might not be watching those, so posting a link to the source might be useful.

So, I will post from time to time and try to read the interesting stuff here!

Cheers,

root42

Hi all. I've finally decided to join up here! I've been interested in demos/ intros for a long time and even dabbled in Windows programming a little. I love all the oldschool stuff for the Amiga, Atari ST and MS DOS. While my skills are rudimentary at best, I certainly hope I will be able to learn a lot more as time goes on, and eventually share something worthwhile.

Hi root42 and SilentWorld!

Hello!

Ogrim from Norway here. I came across this forum researching the SNDH format. I am using the Jam player to listen to tunes on Windows - but I'd like a TUI-based player (like cmus or musikcube) that also works better with high DPI monitors.

So I'd reckon first step was parsing the SNDH files, and see what I can do

I only picked up my first C64 12-13 years ago, and built up a collection of Amigas and Ataris since. Been appreciating the music much longer though - used to fire up keygens to listen to the tunes back in high school   I work as a programmer mainly with .NET and some web stuff, never done any demoscene work before.

Howdy All and I came across your sight while looking for answers to join the CODEF group on MeWe. I was investigating them as a result of FB issues. Leaving FB I would leave a few groups that helped me get this far. But I have learned coding is an investment that never ends. So this is just part of the journey to improve by trying.

 First and for most I am novice at best and been learning Web and Game devs on my own since 2012. That is when I bought my first computer and never plug one in before, or had any idea how to get online. A long strange trip is an understatement.  Been climbing this wonderful mountain ever since, and have noticed it only goes up. I am proficient with HTML5 /CSS and learning JavaScript. I am on GitHub and can do basic wed pages. Just getting comfortable with JavaScript, moving into Classes and Higher Order Functions. Still very green though.

Some C# as to work with Unity and .NET though I am and should focus on Web base canvas and WebGL. 2 & 3D browser based core is JavaScript through HTML. Software, I good with SketchUp and like Blender but I have a mouthful as it is. Got turned on to the server backend with NODE, Webpack, NPM and Babel and again they all focus around JavaScript.

Plus engines like Phaser3, Matter & Easel P5.js open the door to a lot of libraries as well as good old jQuery. But have no knowledge with React or the other frameworks. CSS3 offers great opportunities in animations now so I have been devoting all my time. Into sucking it all in, it is a lot. Don't know what I can do to help today, but I am working to build for tomorrow. Every site or forum exposes some jewel or tid-bit you can use or share, so here I am.

Thanks for the invite and Peace

Hi everyone, newbie here! I have started coding in C++ and decided to join this forum to get help when I'm needed.

  mate, always good to see new people here. It's a little quiet these days, but there's always someone around to help if needed

Greetings to all!
It became interesting for me to make an intro for my products, and so I am here to gain experience, I program a little in Purebasic.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience
