Production Info
Submitted by zscs on 19 January 2022
I created this one-file demo in 1993, its original date in the memory tells 9 August 1993. I found it in an unfinished form in 2011 when I transferred my old disks to PC. In 2019, started to work on it and fix at least the most critical bugs: unstable raster, 2x4 sideborder scroll routine bugs and flickering, bad char copy-paste to sprites, etc. etc. Also had a bug in the DYCP as well. After 1-2 weeks I gave up.
But 3 weeks ago I decided to work 1-1 hour/day, in order to fix all these major issues. That was a big step forward when I coded the demo Coding Again 2-3 weeks ago but to be honest, stabilizing the raster was a real nightmare. I've rewritten the main logic several times until I got to the stabilized timing. After that, sideborder opener routine was an another task for which I almost gave the whole thing up. Also turned out, the 2x4 scroller not only buggy but simply too slow. So I decided to rewrite it from scratch.
Anyway, I left almost everything in its original form: original design, graphics and text (yes, with that bad grammar to keep it more authentic and nostalgic:-)).

Please don't take this demo too seriously, my goal was only to save this old crap and also remove a pending item from a 15-year guy's bucket list. :-)
