Pretty sweet considering it's a C64, I've got loads and I mean loads of stuff like this for my AMiGA, I even made a few myself using AMOS and OctaMed.
Awesome vid man it's amazing what some of these guys can pull off with the old C64! I've seen some impressive demoscene stuff before but not this one.
@MN12BIRD thanks man, it's funny I was never into techno type music even back in the day but man I could watch coding groups demos over and over. Just mesmerizing. It is funny but yeah what these guys could achieve by "banging the hardware" directly was so impressive, always even more than commercial games I was blown away by the graphics and audio achieved. When I got my AMIGA and started seeing those demos OMG!
Dittering, interlaced graphics, raster interrupts, precalculated tables, overlaying single colored hires sprites, using more than 8 sprites by quickly putting them on different parts of the screen depending on the raster interrupt. Using the 'volume' bit as a means to produce digitized sound - that sadly won't work as well on newer c64s due to the slightly different sid-chip.
@markvergeer wow, how easily you squeezed a whole demoscene into a few words. if those things you mentioned was all about c64 scene, i think it wouldn't still exist in the year 2010.
@rolanddschn I wasn't trying to squeeze the whole c64 demoscene in just a few words and the whole jest of my comment was a positive one and not a negative one as your remark seems to indicate - I even was part of it way back :P
