Xmas Compo 2002 (4th - demo competition) |
The picture in this one-parter was originally converted during a particularly silly night on IRC; after seeing the Coca Cola Santa demo for the SuperCPU by Eyeth, T.M.R and Groepaz/Hitmen spent a couple of hours converting a similar source image using various techniques to see if they could get a result that poor and failed. The vertical split effect was just a piece of test code built whilst learning how to work with the direct memory access features of a RAM expansion unit. Everything was just joined together for fun, a soundtrack added based on the ProTracker modules from the game Santa's X-Mas Caper on the Amiga and the it was left doing nothing until the Christmas competition was announced! Trivia: as mentioned already, this one-parter requires a RAM expansion unit (or REU to it's friends) to work completely, without it the main effect in the upper and lower borders won't be visible. The REU emulation in WinVICE was used to write the code, so that should work fine.
