It's amazing how much I 'pooched the screw' on the design here. Even forgot to set priority on at least one or both stars over/under scroller. And yes, the logo was terrible because "I DREW IT!" :)

Taking it from the screenshot I was kind of hoping the start would be moving an rotating too, but nevertheless this is a sweet product and a very nice way to wish TP a happy birtday.

The tech looks smooth (but the colors... ;)

Anyway, you just keep on making progress and it already makes me excited about your next product. Keep it up m8!

p.s. better late than never; happy birthday Eric! :)

Nice B. Thank you very much :D

My wife took me camping for my birthday. She also gave me a kick ass purple sunburst electric guitar (purple is my favorite color). I've only played with it for 20 minutes (tuning it) and then she took me camping :O

I'm about to have some leftover cake, a cup of coffee and then play guitar.

I really enjoyed this production. Nice flow to it and I can finally see what you meant with the rotating characters. The tech-tech came out very nice too.

I'm glad you've taken to ml so quickly. I think you've already surpassed my coding skills, if not, you soon will. Keep up the good work and let's not make any future project a nightmare ;)

@Darth Plagueis: yep, the video mode was the problem. Maybe more planning in the future for parts and layout, colors, effects, that sorta thing. Good you're moving along in the learning process.

@Kickback: Did I just spot you use the 'part' word instead of the 'page' word. Man, have I converted an NTSC-scener? :D

@Thunderbolt: If you see flickering then you are either running in PAL mode, or you are multitasking too much with the emu in Windows. It runs great on my NTSC c64 and on my Vice in NTSC mode. I now test all my demos on the real c64...now that I have a MMC Replay it's fast and easy.

Good old tech-tech, but seems like lots of flickering in there. Maybe the emu is to blame?

I just can't read the rolling text in places :) It feels a bit like picking wine from a bottle with chopsticks.

That is, part of the fun, I guess :D

Looks like the old phrase "Hobbit'ed Colors" is coming back in style! ;)

@Groepaz: heheh, yeah, the damage came when I drew and colorized the logo assuming a black background. Then I decided to retrofit the logo with colors which fit the new scheme for the demo page...but not necessarily the style and usage of the logo. Nevertheless, I coded my first tech-tech effect...which taught me how to properly count cycles...and then the 2nd goal of this project (aside from the birthday cheer!) ...porting the character rotation effect from a demo viewed on my Amiga 500. My greatest satisfaction in developing this production was getting the characters rotating. But as a logo graphician...my journey has obviously just begun.
