| I also think the main problem is not the format/player, but the animation itself. There are too many edges in the logo that produce extra data for every frame that cant be compressed away. I think the thing closest to the vectoranim player in batman forever is the tunnel in http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=94458. This one displays 224 frames of animation lossless compressed to 31 kb with a playback running mostly in 25 fps. |

| Yes, hires smaller stepped rotations compress a lot better. This is for a second chunk of data to get loaded in while the sprites are animating. :) The thing that kills the compression here are the multicolour triangles on the big logo. |

| try adding more frames, the more frames you add, the more efficient the skip code will be. the hires anim in reanim8ed has like 100 frames or so :) |

| Groepaz, adding a skip code saves a total of 1147 bytes for the whole animation. Unfortunately this char data tends to change a lot per frame to make much use of a skip code. I'm now thinking about detecting duplicate data that has moved location. |

| martin: try rle plus a "skipcode", which skips N bytes in the output that didnt change from the previous frame. that works wonders for compression ratio AND it speeds up decompression a LOT. |

| Nice small demo and the multiplexer looks familiar ;) What compression did you use for the logo? |

| The Mean Streak tune is very reminiscent of David Whittaker's style, but currently we don't know who composed it for sure. |

Martin sent me the 3D rotator code somewhere yesterday afternoon, then 2 hours later the final version with everything already mounted. Quite some speedy coding, I'd say :)
Thanks for positive thoughts about the music, I must admit that it's power is the fine original. I just glued together the fitting parts from the subtunes and added a midpart break. Originally it was an example tune made for Martin's MS multiplatform editor:
Music Studio 2.1.0.7
MS goes a totally different direction from all other present SID creating tools, more raw and old-school. I quite much enjoy composing with it :)
BTW Mean streak, by any chance, is there someone who knows the composer who created the original SID? I had some info that it was Matt Gray but it seemed to be false. |

Thank you for the feedback.
Groepaz it is compressed, but I left some space in this version for a second part to link in. :) |

| Great work! Actually I like the lack of frames, looks oldskewlish. Though I usually shun game tune remixes and love MeanStreak original, this tune is just AWEsome! Congratulations! |

| mmmh i have mixed feelings with this - nice tune and sprite multiplexer is always a winner :) that logo anim could use some more frames for my taste though, looks a bit rough - is it (delta?) packed already? |

| This is nice. The way the logos spin against the direction of the scroll has a full feeling. |

| This only took a few hours to knock together. It was a quick test of an idea after seeing a rotating Batman logo from the Amstrad demo "Batman Forever". While that demo only had the rotating logo and music I decided to add some sprites over the top. |
