This is a reply to the renewed discussion in prod's comments which got closed, but existing comments didn't get migrated here, so it may look odd.
Anyway, the discussion was about something being or not being real-time. But what exactly qualifies as real-time I ask? I mean, if LUTs are being used for some effect, is it really real-time? Should it be considered real-time? How many true real-time stuff is C64 capable of anyway? I'm not sure what to think, so I'm asking. |

Pretending best zoom4 demos from the 90s do not have precalculated stuff and LUTs is fucking retarded.
So is creating artificial personal standards of what is a demo and what is not, and then complaining publicly that what is out there is not complying to that self-created standard.
10 months of butthurt and counting.
Jesus fucking christ people. |

I'm not sure what to think, so I'm asking. Filling up the available memory with tables and other precalced data before thinking about optimisation is the standard approach for any demo effect.
In my book, realtime vs animation boils down to how many degrees of freedom there are for rendering.
The many degrees of freedom in a real-time effect (as opposed to the one DOF with animation) make the difference.
Some demos/effects come with a user-mode to interrupt the streamlined trackmo presentation and play around with a joystick.
That said, E2IRA is a great demo, no matter the technical details. =)
Anyone complaining about animation should provide similar effects, but in real-time. |

This, or STFU. |

I can totally subscribe to that book.

Word.

Hard to do nowadays, since interactivity, even of the sort of 'press space to advance the mega-demo' fell out of grace at the parties (understandably so) in favor of the trackmo format.
Anyway that's my 2c, but then again I'm a literal nobody... |
