Hey everyone! I've been around this forum for a while but never really posted anything. I was mostly checking out the demos that I remember from a really long time ago when I first started coding.

willamu · « **Reply #483 on:** March 09, 2011 »

Been around for ages but I haven't posted anything. I'm sending this message to assure the board I am not a spambot or something.

Furthermore I'll get busy writing some stuff in here. I think I did pre 2004 but that's it.

Hi there, my name is Nicolas ATEK aka kochon, I am 36, I ve already programmed some freewares in Blitz language (PacManiac, Picture Mixture, Crazy Bumpa, ...). I am registered here since a lot of time but this is my first post and I hope this comunity and myself will be of great help.

Excuses for my accent... I am French

Nice to have a few European accents around here Koch0n!

Welcome.

Same to SD021, Wilkua and willamu.. I think I remember you from the Ezboard?
Anyway, it's nice to see you all here above the radar!

Hola,
I'm an active C64 demo scener (in the C64 group Style/USA), stumbled across this site while researching for an effect algorithm I'm working on for a C64 demo. There aren't a lot of places to discuss general techniques and algorithms, all the other forums I've seen are pretty platform-targetted. From reading here I can see it's a cool place to be.

LittleWhite · « **Reply #488 on:** March 10, 2011 »

Welcome around (to Six and to all people)

It's rare to see USA guys since the demoscene is not well known there (little community as far as I know). So nice to seee you here (I like the C64 Musics in demo (I can't really say about the techniques since I don't really the limitations)

Yeah, I think it's down to us and two or three other groups still in the US as far as the C64 goes.

A quick summary:
16 colors from a fixed palette, more can be achieved with a frame-swapping technique they call interlacing. 1.2Mhz CPU, graphics modes are all cellular instead of linear. 160x100 pixel display in multicolor graphics modes. Software modes are possible by tweaking the video chip's registers in different ways. Generally you can translate any effect to the C64 from a more powerful platform by simplifying it and pre-rendering anything that can be pre-rendered. More can be done with some of the recent C64 variants like the DTV and DTVII/III.

Welcome aboard Six! it would be nice to have some C64 oldschool coding!

I got fragles in my shirt.

Used to be on the danish PC scene back in 1996 - in Prone. Suddenly stopped when real life kicked in.

Hi All ...

Well honestly I'm a bit ashamed to post here only for my account not to be deleted ...
I never posted anything but I always found here perfect informations I needed !

But here's a bit of my background : a friend of mine told me one day that I was an old computer geek with real piece of C64 in it .... and he was right ! ;-)
It's on that wonderfull little 8Bits machine that "My Real Life" began ... than I got my Amiga 500 ... and my addiction to computer jumped to another level ( hum .. let's say the "no-return-level"

) ...

Now, a big amount of years after ... I'm still coding stuff and things and other stuff :p ...
( especially for Android )

llynx · « **Reply #497 on:** March 12, 2011 »

Been lurking these forums for some time now and enjoying all the cracktro remakes the users here have been making! Will make my own one day

Shockwave · « **Reply #498 on:** March 12, 2011 »

Hi Llynx & MrMala,

Btw, I have been thinking about Android development myself.. Seen some cool screen savers and I want to ahve a go at making some myself.

Thanks for introducing yourselves

padman · « **Reply #499 on:** March 12, 2011 »

Hi guys and welcome!

@llynx: If you really ever make a cracktro remake, make an Atari one!
