@Keff: partially. I used flash, animated one moving dot, and duplicated them to draw the logo. I had to set the start frame for each of them though. Which went wrong a bit, see the mistake i made in the D.

Edit: Gotto be honest, this is based on an oldschool 'c64 demoscene effect'. Seen in different intros since the 80ties.

That's great Andrio Refreshing.

Knoeki the man!

Hehe, _this_ is the demoscene. It's a good seminar by Deekay. It might sound odd to some, these guys are always striving to make 'most' out of the c64. Trying to approach photo realism or generally making it look like a more high end machine. I believe this might be the difference between the (old) demoscene and today's chiptune scene.

As the demoscene originates from the 80ties, where e.g. the c64 was a 'high end' technology (for the common atleast), in that sense people would strive to make it look more high end, trying to polish away / hide the machine limitations. E.g. the strong anti-aliasing comes from this, and look at what people are doing with the SID. Where the demosceners aim at making low end technology look high end, the 'chiptune scene' embraces the low end looks.

'Wow, does this run on a c64?' vs 'Wow, this looks like it runs on a c64'.

I love how both schools meet and inspire eachother. But even the oldschool demosceners are changing, look at 1:03:45 - where an oldschool coder is somewhat addressing this topic. (infact, it's the 'pollution' he mostly fears.)

Sorry if i stepped on anyone's toes, this is quite a black/white story, ofcourse there're million shades of grey. And sorry for generalising 'chiptune sceners' and 'demosceners', i know better than this. In fact, this pov is somewhat dated, but it might help to put things in perspective.

Taste is another topic

I'm not.. My brother's wife is
He's and old c-64 demoscener, therefore his SID music appreciation.
But i'm afraid he's not into anything 'chiptune-scene' related.

Anyone planning to attend?
