Potion - Gift

[Rishav532]

only 64 k?WOW!

[leighstephens74]

This is one "grotesque" video. =p

[rockguythirtytwo]

HOW

[itostrong923v]

Your video is a favorite on Libya

[notreallylive]

Hello everyone i got here , and I dont get anything, what is the purpose of this video, that pepole calls "demo" ..what is it showing, or WTF? could someone explain me?

[SuperShadow]

@notreallylive non-interactive audio-visual presentations that run in real-time on a computer. The main goal of a demo is to show off programming, artistic, and musical skills.

[snipersas]

man this is great, is there a link to just the song

[fortysixfish]

What shared libraries were allowed?

[kenan6346]

Simply phenomenal.

[Zemnmez]

Sixty... Four... Kilobytes...

[Guenton]

...wow

[WattSekunde]

Yes! 64kB including gfx, music, font and 68k machine code! I mean this and all the other great demos are real ART. Art of coding!

It was a great time on Amiga....

PS: On Amiga a good demo never drops in frame rate like sometimes in this video. You have to see it on a real machine!

[JanitorMaster]

How big is the video file you recorded?

would be nice to compare against the 64k of the .exe

[salmiak911]

The .FLV-file that YouTube sent me was 19.4MB.

[Rayzkevin]

The actual output is far grater uncompressed the output is probably about 2gb. fr08 produced 1.9 gb google "the product demo"

[Dark0Lord7]

@salmiak911 But the EXE is 64KB.

[Axe995]

Wow, that's very impressive. It often baffles me how powerful the Amiga really is.

[nitturo]

is it OCS or AGA?

[gklka]

It is AGA.

[noooodl]

Are these open-source?

[ekovzy]

Nope this is Mavey code, Skipp music Potion predfuct for M&S POland owns so badly. To intro sprawiło to że kupiłem turbo nie mając twardego dysku. Chłopaki - LODAAAA! Maveya spotkałem na Syfie ze Skipem się kłuciem na modules. Dziękuję wam, zapełnilismie mi czas czymś cudownym. elektro/veezya :D

[whatwouldmattdo]

thank you for your very confusing answer

[kingtaro]

An other nice 64k intro:

/watch?v=IMUavkmixMU

[iamgreaser]

Not an Amiga one, sorry. And it uses 3D hardware acceleration, too, which I reckon spoils the fun. It's a cool demo, and it runs in WINE, but I'm going to thumb this post down.

[whatwouldmattdo]

and I'm going to thumb YOU down because you're talking about your damn thumb.

[myself248]

Unbelievable. I could see any couple segments being a 64k demo, but the whole thing? All ten minutes of it? Simply breathtaking. I feel wasteful, watching the rendered version on here, where the FLV is probably 20 meg or more... But it's so much easier than downloading an Amiga emulator! Would love to see more demos posted in High Quality.

[iamgreaser]

When I first saw this video, I was confused as to how it was possible. But, after attempting to make a 4KB demo (and succeeding, actually), I've realised that, in reality, 64KB is actually a LOT of memory in terms of code (unless, of course, you're using gcc.)

Seriously. Try coding a 4KB demo in ASM. If you succeed, you will no longer think this is absolutely pushing it.

P.S. I read on the ADA that this takes up 16MB of FAST mem.

[d0dge25]

THIS is THE best Amiga 64kB intro on classic hardware (680x0 processor) till today.

...And even on the new generation (PPC) the Potion guys still hold the thrown with Planet Potion.

[winhate]

Thx GK hogy feltoltotted!

[LordShagrath]

its the answer of someone who cant accept art as "freedom" and is stuck by stereotypes

[kwanttitatti]

One of the best 64k intro I've seen!

[dudemarino]

It boggles my mind that you can do this with 64k.

[SphinxRa30]

cooooooooooooooooooooool:))

[Optimus6128]

Wow! 3 parts/music with several effects and 3d in a 64kb intro. Most impressive ever?

[niobyte]

One of the greatest 64k Amiga AGA 060 demos ever released. A true great, potion dramatically improved this over there previous 64k demos from 1999: Gush & Raos. Great code by: Mavey. Great music by: Skip. The in-house 303 emulator engine was pretty cool. Used in Gush and other 64k demos by Potion.

[fademan]

re: One of the greatest 64k Amiga AGA 060 demos ever released

intros not demos , and this production also run on a 030 with fpu too ..

[niobyte]

Yes, true, not sure what made me write it requires a 060 it does in fact require at least a 030 + FPU.

Also at least 16MB Fast RAM.

[niobyte]

Hmm, I do wonder how long the pre-calc is on a 030 + FPU. Also, the frame rate. I guess that is why a 060 is preferred.

I do have a 68030 @ 33 Mhz Accelerator. Although, I do not use it in my current A1200 setup. Currently using my 68060.

And yes this is a 64k intro.

[lkhalid]

ca rest un mystere !

[Fishfliphatsock]

Classic

[gklka]

A1200 with 060 :)

[EpilepticPsycho]

A500??

[twizz223]

great job potion

[gerbilroo]

this may well overtake poem to a horse as my fave 64ker..

how in the name of arse do they fit it all in??

[yur0k]

Who confused - this is a demo (intro) application with 64k size limit (usually written in Assembler). Amazing!!!

[Grantax]

Just assembled with an assembler, not written in it. :)

[yur0k]

I know people who writing in assembler, and I remember myself in 1995 wroting some system interrupt procedures using assembler, like int 21h for input/output or int 10h for video ;-)

But yes, definetely, this job is impossible to be done in assembler, I agree with you! =)

[Grantax]

My point was that an assembler is what translated the code from assembly to machine instructions.

Whatever you write the code in is not the assembler.

[yur0k]

Is it assembler or no? :)

-------------------

SIGINC: mov _dt_ymdydx,UP push word ptr 0FFFFH

 push word ptr YARD_INCREMENT push word ptr _io_evnt call far ptr AAEVSIG add sp,6

[Grantax]

Oh, the word you're looking for is assemblY. :) An assembler is what translated assembly into machine instructions. =)

[yur0k]

yes, you're right!! My bad.. =)

In my language there is no word like "assembly", only "assembler" that means language and I didn't know about "assembly". Thank you for explanation! )
