+OLD CS1 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Nicely done. Are we going to see a TI-99/4A category at the next demo compo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMole Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Neat looking effect, cool music. I'm guessing you generated the horizontal scroll data on top of 8 frames of vertically scrolling animation? Is there a reason why you need the characters to be 8x8 blocks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightengale Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I would not have thought such a demonstration would be able to be done on a TI-99/4A Really well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well, time flies, and I guess my Happy New Year demo can't wait forever. Looks like it began on January 4th and ended the 7th. I'm having the usual laid-back fun with a constant flow of ideas and new projects. It's actually pretty bad, since part of my brain seems slightly hardwired into that dreadful old graphic mode (the one TI Basic uses). Had several, or should I say tons of ideas, like drawing with a crayon (yep, all up on the screen), or instead using an eraser, like introducing blop (blit of shape). And I've played around with the piano/keyboard (synth) composing and playing "live", recording it with intent to pass it somehow using MIDI to whatever to get it into a rather plain ISR driven sound-list. Perhaps with an overall custom ADSR (obviously then having to pull my own driver). - Ever so often my projects have been silent, runs into the sand, or the usual distraction (work with something else) and in this case too, I haven't found time or momentum to go all the way. What I did do is, take a simple bitmap image, usually 12 KB, reducing size using monochrome (2 colors) to 6K and then using some sort of RLE, to reduce it further to just above 2 KB. Using C# and Visual Studio. I was also playing around with the idea of having snow fall to the ground etc. - apart from some stars rotating. I worked a bit forth and back with the colors schemes and decided that the original white background was best, effectively dropping the idea about snow (would obviously have been using sprites for that). Anyway, went through the stages of making the star rotate, thinking 6 frames would make it look smooth, and reducing colors to only one. Using ActionScript and Flash Pro. Here you go, - Happy New Year. It should play Silent Night, but obviously too silent for the human ear to pick it up. Total size less than 3 KB. Files for MESS (mess ti99_4a -cart newyear.rpk) and Classic99 (use Cartridge, User, Open and find newyearc.bin): 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually pretty bad, since part of my brain seems slightly hardwired into that dreadful old graphic mode (the one TI Basic uses). Hmmm, not sure about that one. You of all people seem to have a knack for creating elegant, modern looking graphics with the limitations of our poor old 9918a. I wasn't around yet, way back when you were making all those demos, but I've always thought that they were some of the nicest looking things I've seen on the TI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah, it was a relatively popular video. At some point the number of demos had doubled, so I wanted to make something new, but then got distracted. I'm afraid I don't have a backup. Thanks for the interest. I guess it's on my list (to do a video like that), but it has low priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneMultitasker Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 A recent demo, no less! The details for the 'plasma' display are a fun, quick read. Some good nuggets about timing and cycle counting in the thread, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
