Carbonite

This is my 3rd c64 demo...and my first multi part/page production. It has three pages, and is done in the old school style where the next page doesn't load until the viewer presses the space bar. There were quite a few coding firsts for me in this video...logo swing on top of moving raster bars, proportional scroller (a routine which is capable of scrolling a non fixed width character set), full screen logo swing (a more more tricky than I originally though it would be) and more. The great single color hi res logo on the first page was some freelance work by another guy Ninjasbane, also from NTSC-land. The frozen figures on that logo were part of what inspired me to call this demo "Carbonite", as well as the fact that my handle in the C64 community is Darth Plagueis.

@basraw : Thanks. I can't really claim much originality on the bars or anything else here, but it was just my way of getting in on some of the old school action that coders created in the late 80's, back when my c64 was mostly used for playing Ultima IV. Gotta get that "old school diploma."

Dude, I love the tunes on the second and third pages!! Who made them, do you know?

[KrionyX]

Yes, the song for the 2nd part was by Markus Mueller and was Cinema.sid, the song for the 3rd part was "Cruel_Angel_Thesis.sid" by RadiantX. Both of these SIDs are available in the HVSC (High Voltage Sid Collection) available for download.
