Tjoppen Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Maybe we should just have a Sillyventure thread for these Anyway, Flush, visy and me did a demo celebrating 40 years of the VCS. Pouet page with ROM download is here: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=72719 YouTube below for the lazy ones: My contribution was the framework of the demo and the new graphics mode. I might do a writeup on the latter, and how my encoder works. Nothing fancy, but might give some people new ideas how to do things 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I could go for a whole cartridge/album of demo music like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I like it. BTW: The hires graphic (1:44) style looks pretty familiar to the graphics from BC 2600. Just a coincidence or the same artist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a coincidence or the same artist? Nope, different artists and different modes. If you look closely using Stella you should spot the difference, but the short of it is 2600 BC uses one unique color per line for P0 and P1, is 48 pixels across, 1-line kernel. Plus black background. My mode (in 40years) does two unique foreground colors per line in 4x1 attributes, is 40 pixels across, 2-line kernel, plus a fixed background that varies between images.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yes, technical they are very different. To me it looked like the same artist may have done both, maybe because of the colors chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjoppen Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Nah, Mermaid did the graphics (and music!) in 2600 B.C., exocet did the graphics in 40years. visy made the rotating 3D thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that: Vcs music cart vol 1 by Flush And if you like it, build your own! This asm prog loads all TIATracker (*.ttt) files in the folder supplied or if none, the current directory, and builds a 32Kb VCS music cart from them: https://github.com/g012/l65/blob/master/samples/vcs_mcart.l65 Build with "l65 vcs_mcart.l65 [path]", using l65 assembler: https://github.com/g012/l65/releases/tag/v1.2.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
