Open Source C64 Demos

Given recent discussions on this, I thought it could be good to collate the various open-source demos in one place..?

I've added several demos that I've worked on (with many other GP'ers of course) here:-
https://github.com/RobertTroughton/C64Demo-PublicReleases
(currently includes Delirious 11, X Marks the Spot, The Dive, Memento Mori, Christmas Megademo and No Bounds .. though we'll of course add more later)

And Bitbreaker/Performers just made the Next Level source public:
https://github.com/bboxy/next-level

Also note that I have the https://www.c64demo.com domain where I plan to blog about all sorts of coding stuff .. hopefully once I finally release Sabre Wulf Remastered I'll have more time to do stuff there too.

I've also attached to each entry on CSDb a ZIP containing the current state of each source branch. That way, it's all hopefully better preserved. I strongly encourage others to think about that too - sometimes (or 99% of the time?) these links on CSDb become stale and stop working .........

I love you guys. When I get back to coding on C64 I'm going to find this thread and learn from your process. Thank you.

Thanks for the advertisement :)
I was too shy to post it myself, because it's just full of beginner stuff. Hopefully with enough comments for others to be somehow useful.

Useless post but I have to make it because noone else did already:
"Everything is open-source if you know assembly..."

The open source part that is important are the comments to follow the thought process. This is how beginners can learn, not by just looking at opcodes and cycles.

Indeed, disassembling modern demo code might give you some hints IF you really know what you are doing - but for beginners its completely useless.

I just randomly looked at one of your examples and you're much too modest. These are must reads for any beginner coder and even intermediate ones.
Easy to follow and very well commented.
