No, I haven't done any coding in ages.  But right back into it with an ambitious project that I'm loving.  I'm writing my own language.  I have a worklog at www.blitzmonkeys.com

ok. Cool.   

Bit late to comment perhaps, but not been here in ages.

Nicely done. Good atmosphere and nice touches.  Love all the bats - in the foreground and background.

Very cute and very smooth.  What language did you use? 

Ah I wish I had the time!  Shall I write a game?  Should I write a demo?  I'll leave the demos to the experts I think.  Always happy to see your work though - demos rock!

One day maybe! 

Yep!  The future's bright, the future's Cobra!  Yep I'm drunk - it's true though!   

[Edit] Now the 6 nations finished I should be drinking less and programming more - which is no bad thing.

She was playing Manic Miner late last night...

She's got taste. 

Nice Cobra Demo!    I still hate the small window though - demos should be full screen IMO.

LOL - maybe.  But not many developers ask a demo coder what they want - deserves a push in my opinion.  Shockwave's decision ofcourse.

I love the sound of this low level stuff.  Perhaps Cobra could be 'promoted' to the main set of languages now? 

Whoah!  Now that's faster! 

Cobra runs most programs very quickly indeed - Shockwave found something it didn't do quite so well.  Good idea to try and resolve it Graham - hope the talented guys here can come up with some cool demos and show off what Cobra is capable of - you have to include PNG support though.

Totally agree with Shockwave.   

Thanks Shockwave - just need some spare time to get my head around it all now.

That demo doesn't work rbraz - it gives an error as you click on the program.

Thanks rbraz - have you written any tutorials here?  I think the basics of assembly are ok - but the graphics and sound need a few tutorials to help a noob.

Have you seen the San Angeles Observation 4K demo?  That's a really inspiring demo which uses Opengl and asm like your 1K demo.

LOL - that's about as far as I've got. 

Thanks for the tutorials.

Poured a cold one just now.  
I have a theory, that I might pick-up this assembly language business easier when I've had several more!  

Cool.  I'm coding in Cobra mainly - but I'm definitely looking to try and get something running in asm.

Yes MASM has some C style instructions that are the equivalent of jmp and cmp etc (so no loss in speed).

I'm looking to have a go at assembly for speed, compactness and because it's something I haven't done before!  I'm not too bothered about fitting everything into 1K - I was just impressed by the 1K demo.

[Edit]
After a quick test FASM seems easier to use.

rbraz, what do you think of MASM32?
