Cheers for the insight into the vector split internals, @wacek - that part was definitely a highlight for me.
There's still so much potential for doing interesting things with vector quantized data well beyond simple video playback.
Agreed with $various about how there's not much point doing a realtime effect then only showing as much as could have been easily preanimated. |

Eg lot of tunnels. Then again, those _are_ often static animation with color cycling :=) |

...and that should be primary focus of everyone, not that asinine and pointless discussion. |

The line is blurred though. Also tunnel CAN be done as straight animation, good enough to fool AEG to come to me and ask if it is =) (Reanim8ed side2, a little over 100 frames) |

My 2c: I am oldskool. Demos for me has been about showing c0der skillz, as in "Look! I managed to squeeze X sprites in a DYSP over a bitmap Y pixels high:", or "I made the impossible! I can scroll a bitmap *this* fast.". Realtime stuff. Like in the old days, when discovering new VIC tricks was still a thing.
Nowadays, the focus has shifted towards creating a visual experience rather than showing off crazy c0der skillz. The visual end result is more important than how it is achieved.
I'm not saying that it is necessarily a bad thing. It's just the way it is. And, for example, pulling off a nice animation that wouldn't normally fit in memory by implementing a crazy compression algorithm is still codepr0n in my book.
Still, I am usually more impressed when an effect is real time and not "just" precalculated. The goal, IMHO, is still to show off what can be done with the limited resources on the C64. |

Ok yes, there is that. Also, fitting into a onefiler along with a heap of other stuff or while staying within size restrictions.

Effluvium and Jam Ball 2 both say thanks :D

You can squeeze a lot of animations into one file ;) see my „Inside” demo series ;) |
