Well done, beautiful, plus amazing sound!

 

Was just thinking recently of that star effect similar to what I first saw on the Atari 800 years ago.

What a great motion effect with just a few different horizontal speeds, here starting with all one speed, then two speeds.

Here's a nice write up about the physics routine used in the demo.

Very interesting read. Thanks for positing the link.

 

Now someone should do similar physics with the 2600 on-the-fly. 😀
