Soci:

Carrion didn't want to harm you. I think he perchance missed you from the list.

Carrion:
Soci was the main coder of this demo. He made the svg font renderer, the first colour effect and he linked the parts.

It is not secret that as soon as possible we'll release a final version with some fixed bugs, better timing and hidden part. Thank you all your positive comments. \o/ It was too good to work together, so maybe there will be neXt. ;)

Great to see such a fruitful coop between all those hungarian aces.

Soci!!! How dare you thrill me with such an enormously great SVG viewer routine!!!!

And people think that SVG is an abandoned format - not at all, as you can see.

@hcl, "instead of assembler", please dont scare us like that! /o\

@oswaence, no multiplexer? this was ur chance! ;) I'm sure I've seen Oswald suggesting it in multiple threads

@Oswald: Haha :), i just love that you share such details!

@Clarence: Cool! Yeah, i'm also moving towards doing demos in html and svg instead of assembler, feels fresh ;).

..and it's a one-filer(!), impressing!

Thanx for the positive comments on the music too. It's clear this production's real value is in the hard/unbelievable coding work, but it seems music added to the production a little bit as well :) On the other hand it means that SID-Wizard can be used to produce demo-music in practice, but be careful with too much pattern-effects (especially filter) on the same tracks simultaneously. The more you use the more the rastertime is (but not that much difference I'm talking about if you use normally. According to Soci, I had rastertime-increase when the speech is simulated on 2 channels. But that's a special case, speech-simulation uses SID registers extensively :)...
we'll see what's next :)

Tower Power has evenly placed bobs aswell, but the perspective is not so agressive. another thing that helps that it calculates the middle face points correctly. due to time pressure I was not able to include that. otherwise each face would have had 2 diagonal lines. I could not have both diagonals because the diagonals would slide on each other because of no middle point calculation :)

Thx for reactions.

This is the party version, a more finished version is going to be released, hopefully soon.

@Deekay, my plasma uses a specialized 6 sprites border timing, allowing 8 color registers to play with (in multicolour). The black grid allows enough time to change the 8 colors before and during the badlines.

@Burglar: all bobs are plotted by software (see Oswald's trivia).

@CONS+HCL: Soci made a full svg converter/displayer for the c64, allowing to freely place, zoom, rotate the symbols. It is curve based so smoothness is retained in all scale levels.

Great demo! I especially like the sideborder plasma, and the text writer (!). How is that done? Are the letters vector-based, or how else did you manage rotating, zooming and lots of effects?

The bob-vector.. Hmm. Well, it may be faster than TowerPower, but the intermediate bobs obviously have incorrect perspective :P. Saved alot of divisions there hehe, but still amazing that you draw bigger bobs so fast.. Love you guys!! You rock!!

Fuckin A! Well stylish, I just love the tagging font displayer and the B-Boy with the radial colorcycle in the beginning! Awesome border-FX, too, not just AMN's Jack Tramiel but also the border-plasma! Still wondering how that is done, but from what i see the min color resolution (in upperlower border) is 2 chars per pixel, which would mean 3 "pixels" per sprite - would still require color-changing in mid-line for arbitrary colors, quite impressive! 8)

That's the type of a demo i was waiting for! Very well packed impressive effects. I liked the wavey kefrens bars, sideborder plasma, textured planes, vector... Well, i guess i liked them all. :) Visual works and music are also great. Congratulations pals.
