c64 - *Static Effect*
Some demo`s feature what i call a static effect (the kind of effect you can see when you pull the ariel lead out of the back of old style televisions (I say old style televsions as most televisions these days switch the screen to a black screen).
What demo features the best static effect?
I`ve seen afew, some use the screen area only, some use the side borders too and the best versions use the whole screen plus all the borders :D
I the reason i ask is, i`m working on the intro to a demo called *ZEROs & ONEs* and it is to feature full screen static plus some more stuff /WEC :)

@WEC: As i mentioned before, expanding this to full screen is a matter of running more often through the loop and adjusting some tables :) |

Quote: Just checked out +h2k, lots of hardcode there, graphics let the demo down abit though ;) the static effect look ok if abit on the dark side, it was full screen all borders i`ll give it that :)
Just checked out Brief Bursts of Hapiness, funny demo! :D
The static looked somewhat charcter based, no upper and lower border, just sideboder (still impressive though).
When i see black upper and lower borders it always reminds me of a film. So the static, rather than being real on my monitor, looked more like a film, a film of static :)
The static in Brief Bursts of Happiness doesn't fill the entire screen simply because it is supposed to fit the rest of the demo - and yeah, I wanted a widescreen look to it. Fullscreen static would have clashed with the rest of the demo. |

I was thinking that, you wanted a *wide screen look* to it /WEC :) |

Quote: I think "+h2k" has a decent version. Anyway, if you are interested in the source of my version from "brief bursts of happiness", just let me know.
Thanks for the offer. Your source would be no use to me though, i only do graphics and design (...and the odd digi track ;) - I can`t code (will can do Basic and html but that dosn`t really count ;). If you want to code the intro/menu then that would be great /WEC :D |

My favorite static effect is the one in Emulated/Upstars, since it's not as boring as the other ones :) |
