I remember this - and the C64 versions of this sort of thing before this!

Reason it fitted on such little memory is the visuals were *mostly* capable of being run on spectrum - nothing new there really, the three D render stuff of course was though.. nowt a blitter couldnt handle in its sleep there though..

ah me...

First one I ever watched... with the guy who started Psygnosis, from Dundee - who used to come up to Aberdeen a lot to Holborn Computers at the time.. :)

This is a pain as I've been recently trying to make something worth playing the in XNA toolkit, gives my .net knowledge some purpose :)

That is one of the most technically impressive demos I have seen in a loooooooooooong time :notworthy

I got in to watching demos on the PC back when I had a Gravis Ultrasound soundcard. It was about the only card that could play amiga style .MOD files without killing the PC.

Futurecrew were the best out there at that time.

I found a whole load of entries from recent "Assembly"s and the ones where the guys are coding stuff in under 4Kb are utterly amazing :thumbs:

Here's a site (http://www.scene.org/) with the most recent stuff out there :thumbs:

It was all about Future Crew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Crew) for me though, their art, music and demos were just amazing.

The answer is yes, it does and it's absolutely ****ing mind-blowing .... :eek: :smitten:

For reference it runs pretty damn fluidly on an Opteron @ 2.6Ghz and Geforce 6800 128MB

good isn't it :D (I'm running it at 1280x1024 on a P4 3.2GHz with a Radeon X1800 and it's smooth as you like). Reading the info on it, they wrote it on an AMD Athlon 3000 with a Geforce 5600 :eek: . How old-school is that :D

Check out Route 1066 (http://www.scene.org/file_dl.php?url=http://http.de.scene.org/pub/parties/2007/sundown07/demo/newschool/route_1066.zip&id=382211)from the Sundown 07 "Newschool" section as well. Very very very cool thing to watch :thumbs:

I like that one as well.

Watched it at 1920x1080p on my HTPC (Core2Duo @2.1Ghz, Geforce 8500GT), worked perfectly under Vista as well.

I still have my Amiga... might have to dig it out... :wack:

I did untill the other day, i dropped it when i was moving house, it fell on my head and several keys fell off (the Amiga, not my head).

Gutted, had so many happy memories tied to it, but really could not justify the room it was taking up. I couldn't bring myself to throw it in the skip, so i left it on a table down the dump :cry:

Well thats half the issue.

The rest of it is in the old days, coders used to be good, they had very limited hardware, it didnt change or grow and becuase of that they became masters of coding it.

these days, what with the microsoft revolution ..... it doesnt matter how shit your programing is .. if its slow, just right on the box : System Requirements - 1024Gb Mem, 2048Gb Graphiocs card 1Tb disk space. :wack:

Great thread!

has anyone got an mp3 copy of jesus on e's?

Many moons ago I managed to connect a tape deck upto the Amiga and record Jesus on E's and Spaceballs (amongst others) onto it. They're both converted to MP3 somewhere or other, I'll have a look. Did sample some Jesus loops for my phone for ringtones. 'Gimme a white line!' :D Had an old CD in the car the other day and Spaceballs was on it! :thumbs: Proper stereo as well, different sounds out of the left and right speakers! :D

Them were the days.......

Need to get home now as youtubes blocked at work :mad:

Shilvers

18-10-2007, 10:54

Also (how sad) I put it on VHS tape as well so it could be watched anywhere without the Amiga being on. Gonna have to find that out now, there's loads on it from what I remember! :D

Holy thread resurrection batman

ASD have released a sort of sequel to Lifeforce for Assembly 2010

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FgO_tWufjgc&hl=en_GB&fs=1?rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FgO_tWufjgc&hl=en_GB&fs=1?rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

However, technically, some of Fairlight/CNCD's demo eclipses that. Look out for the buildings and water near the end. It is worth watching just for those two sections (2m34s and on) :cool:

Ceasefire by CNCD vs Fairlight

EDIT : Could a mod move this to the geek section please :D

EDIT : Rather than watch the poor Youtube versions, you can run the demos yourself by downloading from this page (http://www.scene.org/dir.php?dir=%2Fparties%2F2010%2Fassembly10%2Fdemo/) :thumbs: . I've tested both and they work fine. The CNCD vs Fairlight one gets slow in a couple of places, but still runs.

OK, so they're obviously using DirectX routines which are significantly more than 4K or 64K, but they are still amazing pieces of work for that amount of code :nod:

That 4K one is just plain stunning for 4KB. I think we're starting to get into the realms of semantics though, what sort of compression madness is being used these days? I just can't see how they could even get the code to do that into 4K ignoring the fact that the libraries and samples are obviously outside of it.

DaveIt's a shame but it is still a fantastic showcase for what is technically possible with just a few thousand bytes of code. I'm reminded of the most stunning one - which I've posted about before :-

Just 4K of code and simply the most astonishing thing I've seen on the demo scene :nod:

Well, here we go for a yearly bump :D.

ASD have proved, yet again, that they are miles ahead of anybody else in the PC demo scene right now. Again, remember that all the graphics are being generated in realtime.
