ilmenit Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Hi, During the weekend there was a big demoscene event dedicated to sizecoding Lovebyte. There were competitions for oldschool (Atari, C64, ZX and others), high-end (DOS, Acorn, Linux) and virtual (Tic80, JavaScript) platforms with many great intros. More than 300 (!) productions were submitted for size-limited graphics, music and code categories, which made it the biggest demoscene event ever by the number of entries. Results are available here: https://www.pouet.net/party_results.php?which=1935&when=2021 Some competitions were mixing high-end and low-end platforms (e.g. 32 and 64 byte), some had them separated (128 bytes, 256 bytes). Here are my entries (source code included in the archives): Neon Fire - 32 bytes neon_fire-32.zip Unfolding - 64 bytes unfolding-64.zip Prokaryota - 128 bytes prokaryota-128.zip Sprout - 256 bytes sprout-256.zip Quarter Express - 256 bytes quarter-express-256.zip All of them were winning entries among old-school intros in all size categories. Atari power! Edited March 15, 2021 by ilmenit 21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Quarter Express is pretty impressive for 256 bytes, with the parallax and all the DLI's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Philsan Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I like very much @F#READY DSYNC32: 128 colors, scrolling and overscan in 32 bytes! I think compos are easier to see on Demozoo: https://demozoo.org/parties/4197/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Masterful entries from everyone at Lovebyte, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Very strong showing for the Atari from a talented group of coders, in fact a small handful of coders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how the music is generated. https://github.com/ivop/sizecoding/tree/main/lovebyte2021 There are several methods of doing "real" music. I'm considering writing a piece about that.

And it works due to PAL palette values being linked to VCOUNT Hope you don't mind but made an 'extended' (i.e. more than 256 bytes ) version that hopefully runs on 400's and 800's calamus_osAB.xex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
