My “Basic Demo” – First Preview

Hi,

I already mentioned that I wanted to write a small demo in BASIC. Well, it’s pretty much done now. Even though it still needs a bit of fine-tuning, I wanted to share it here already — at least as a video :slight_smile:

Comments are welcome (even negative ones…)

And I see that this website somehow ended up on my blocklist… Wenn sie hier landen wurde ihre IP gesperrt.

Is there something coming through with your IP? If so, please send it to me.

The link was also altered by the forum…

The link is working for me.

Very cool! Some excellent use of colour cycling (particularly the plasma section, and the F1 cars).

I can visit and see the video alright, but the server probably blocked the forum ip recognizing it as an automated system.

The ban from the server was done manually by me — I banned a few too many IPs I was getting spam from, accidentally banning entire IP ranges in the process…

With my CPC 6128 I had a green screen. 27 shades of green, this are 4.8 or almost 5 bits, more than the Plus color space provides. Although here and there I missed the colors a bit I saw on the monitor of a friend’s CPC, I really liked the big number of brightness values that allowed for smooth transitions and shading.

Thank you for this demo, it reminds me of this time.

Now I see where the discussion about BASIC fonts led to. Surprising for me was the more or less instant change between different fonts, although I have an idea how this has been achieved.

The part with the changing fonts will also be expanded — there’s still a bit of RAM free :wink:
