Anyway, maybe the other one (sunrise) will be on this year instead.

Or maybe Ruairi will run "uʍopuns uʍop-ǝpısdn".

I am indeed the drunk brummie from Sundown.  o/
rc55 is moving to Australia in a few weeks,  so I'm not sure if Sundown is going to happen again this year...

Hehe.  Yes, Zarch was a great tech demo,  but I didn't find it very rewarding to play.

There were several much more entertaining, and technically superior, games for the Arch such as Star Fighter 3000 and Aldebaran.

Hi everybody.  I've been interested in demoscene for ~25 years,  and I released a few wholly unremarkable efforts for the Acorn Archimedes back in the day.  In the last 6 years I've managed to visit at least one demo party each year.

A few years ago I purchased an Acorn RiscPC, the platform I could never afford in my youth. I began dabbling with gfx effects in ARM assembly embedded in BASIC.  More recently I've been learning and using C, with a sprinkling of inline ARM.

I'll no doubt be asking for pointers on old-school algorithms.  There's still some effects that stymie me.

Cheers folks.  Perhaps I'll see you at Outline this year.
