Where's the source code?

It's lost. It was almost 30 years ago! I may have a 5 1/4 disk in the closet. 6502 assembly language. It would only run on a Apple ][ or //e anyway. How did you find the video? See my other clips! The 'Fire Organ' for instance. 'Jim's Demo Film' was 16mm stop motion. Go to flickr dot com. Same user name there. Search for 'Cinemagic' Google for 'fun 1981 sci-fi home movie'. The Boing Boing article has a link. The 16 minute film is a Google Video.

@hyretech - I have the source for it... it may not be exactly the same but it works.

Thanks....

It was decades ago.

The original was in BASIC and <i>was</i> three for/next loops inside each other. The machine language version (6502 assembler) needed an additional loop (or 2?) to waste time.

The 'chirp' was the end of the outermost loop.

Check out my other YouTubes.

How did you find this relic of the home computer age anyway?

Did you once own/use/see an Apple //e?

Check out my flicker dot com page. Same user name.

See page 2, the notated picture of me.

Thanks!

I can't believe I didn't record a pass at delay = zero!

You did, have a look at 2:00 mins :)

What were the delays in, frames?
