DBF Header 2026

[ttemper]

a just-because-i-could demo/intro... nfi why i did, but i did... and here it is.

it's basically a replication of the 'DBF Header' on the main page... with a chiptune thrown in. just another learning experience on the ins-and-outs of demo coding and purebasic.

sometimes the more simplest of demos/intros are still nice to watch (and learn by).

zipped up, no pe packing, just compiled straight from pb.

I'll try this when I get back from my hols.

This is such a nice tribute and it's great to read how you crossed over from pixel art to programming 

I hope Benny and Dicab both get to see your tribute and thanks for the greet

ahh. thx. im still learning democode (purebasic)... always wanted to make prods, just never had the skillset when i was younger to understand code/code structure. but small prods like this do help with learning set up, procedures and loop routines, etc.

thus far ive done a LERNSTUF intro (bookware group), BTCR 5th Birthday Intro (0day group), Working on a couple of others atm/still in my spare time, and im sure you have all seen my XMAS Intro from 2024.

and im sure they'll see it if they venture back here at some stage as here is the only place its posted.

Nice conversion mate. Good to see you're progressing with PB and thanks for the greet.
I may have a go myself if I have time. In the meantime I'll try to fix the Spice boys intro. Again, time permitting.

ok... so i have messed around with the code some more, changed things, added things, fixed things... and thinged the things. and decided to release this as a v1.0.1.

what did i change..?

• i updated the scroller code calculations for smoother scrolling... the previous one is a lil glitchy.
• i updated the screen handling. it now supports moving the window (with no screen freeze), full screen window mode (with disabled window move), center window hot key (F10), now with multi-monitor support.
• i updated the stars. new calculations, new pixel blit in a star shape (rather than just a single pixel), new colors (F9 to cycle), tidied the code a lil.
• i added in a fps counter (F1 to toggle)... just because.
• i added in a credit/about screen (F12 to toggle)... because i could . it uses the same colors as the stars for the background (F9 to cycle).

i think that's it... hopefully. anyways... check it out.
