Something called "free ammo" should at least be NTSC compatible =) |

First of all: Cool production!
Communication is not all moderator's ability. Had these problems myself years ago. All finally cleared up by one more silent moderator with a few mails. Have to admit it was a different moderator team back then. |

Violation of rule 1.3 and 1.9 especially.
IMHO its not a good idea to paste a PM by Perff into IRC as the first thing on receiving it. Someone being on here for nearly 18 years should just use the reply button.
Other sentences mentioned in our discussion which we indeed had before hitting the ban button included:
"he has undermined CSDb by posting deleted links and info from within CSDb to the public."
"Destructive, and not supportive, attitude." |

not commenting the reasons (except for "destructive".. come on, Mr.Ammo destructive is the world upside down...)
so whatever the reason was I hope you guys will clear up and problem will get solved very soon.
well, if my opinion matters something to someone: this story is not good for the scene. |

This should probably be a production note, but comments are closed, so...
Mad props to Shine for creating the logo for this demo in under an hour from Burg saying 'we should make a "FREE AMMO" demo!' to Shine emailing me the finished graphic.
I was a tad slower. 13 hours from repo creation to feature complete, half of which I was sleeping. All new code aside from the stable interrupt, but no new ideas really. I had plans for a 3D effect, but a quick draft looked shit so I canned it.
The sliding doors effect is a little optimised by only loading A when the value to be written changes, only writing colour ram values for non-spaces, and only writing values to screen or colour ram if they have a different neighbour to the left or right. There's plenty of room for improvement - I don't group multiple runs of the same value, and don't take advantage of each half only scrolling one direction.
The scroller uses a 32x4 grid of chars as a bitmap that can be easily scrolled by writing new character indices to the screen. Masks are expanded from the ROM font at startup, then composited with the pattern fill as they are brought on screen.
Music selection was Burg's idea :)
Apologies for the lack of NTSC compatibility; I didn't even think of that.. |

hrm, probably not, no. But, I never saw any grumbles about "the rules" per se - and I'm on IRC constantly. Just exasperated concern that a much loved site may be in danger.
Was he actually warned he was skirting close to being banned?
(FWIW, I get that you're under no obligation to justify the moderators decision - but transparency is always appreciated. As much as anything, it helps the rest of us to understand what sort of behavior is considered ok here :) ) |
