Seems some one bumped this release.
Watching it again today made me think i was watching a release i had not watched before, which is always good.
Checking the comments here, looks like i already did back in 2012 - Lol!
Watching Darwin today, i had the same thoughts and planned on posting:
'The World First / Record 6 sprites over FLI was interesting, although the picture could have looked more FLI like.

| @Jammer @iAN: Yes, hidden feature is only looping the demo. :) |

@Rastah Bar:
Yes, you can make a computer program that tries all opcode combinations and registers. This is how Halloweed 3 came to be.
About your other question : If you have 6 sprites over FLI you can only have 8 cycles (4+4) per line for your code. If the last opcode is an RMW instruction, you can have 4+6 = 10 cycles per line. So for 8 lines you have a minimum of 8*8=64 cycles and a maximum of 8*10=80 cycles. 76 cycles means using RMW instructions for 6 out of 8 lines and no RMW instructions for 2 lines (6*10+2*8=76 cycles).
I agree there are some brilliant ideas in this demo, but the flow is a bit lacking. |

Oldskool, modern, some code magic. This demo has a bit for everyone.
I loved the SID demonstration and the whale pic. The rest is cool too.
The scroller irritated me because it was nearly unreadable (like a lot of them). |

| Absolutely brilliant demo, IMHO. Way underrated. |

| Quite overlooked gem, I'd say ;) Is hidden part anything more than restarting a demo? |

I saw the code in Groepaz's his UOC doc.
I was wondering, wouldn't it be possible to write a computer program that finds more solutions? Check allowed/desirable register values for different combinations of starting values and instructions? It could go through billions of combinations.
Probably a dumb question, but the code for 8 lines takes 76 cycles, why not a number that can be divided by 8? |

I liked the shakey rawness of Darwin.
The World First / Record 6 sprites over FLI was interesting, although the picture could have looked more FLI like.
Contains some neat little tunes.

| Completely ingenious routines, brilliant parts, interesting style, creative... it is one of the most skilled demos ever created IMHO, but it has no flow, no beat. The musics are changing abruptly and nothing seems connected to each other, all parts vary in speed. Yes, should have been 2nd, at least. |

| The sound quality of the digi jingle is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I do hope the digi routine will be further developed to allow to play longer tunes. |
