A 256-byte inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis

Hello DBF,

I just released a fly-by in 256 bytes inspired by iconic image of Babel tower in Metropolis from Fritz Lang :

Commented source is here
Video capture is  here


I'd be interested if you have any feedback ;)
Thank you.

Awesome!  :)
Should have won 1st in my opinion.

I just watched it via youtube, how to run it on doxbox? (I only got a black screen).  I also tried dosbox-x.

Awesome! :clap:

This inspired me to check out metropolis tonight. I also read a bit on assembly language after looking at the source.

Thanks Kirl, Dr.Death and rbz.
rbz : sorry it only works for freedos or xp for sure (DosBox isn't timer cycle correct sadly).
Best is often to use an xp home edition on vmware or freedos image on Bochs emulator.
And thanks for thinking it could have placed first ;) It's never too late to thumb it up of course ;)

That is Mind blowing on what you have done Baudsurfer  :clap:

IF I was typing Assemblers and then It is very important to have commets next to it otherwise I would easily get lost! LOL

One things I like to ask is what Assemblers you using? assembler 8086?

Well Done  :clap:

@Baudsurfer:

Just wow! When i saw your prod the first time on pouet, i was really speachless!!
How the hell is that possible? Just unbelievable and extrem impressive to me!  8)

I saw some other of your truly amazing 256 byte entries  too. You are doing a really great and mindblowing job!
K++ for your great work and for sharing even the asm source codes! (sadly i dont understand much of the source, so i cant convert it to C or psydo basic to understand how this magic works ;)

Keep on your great work!
