Drawing 8392 individual and unrepeated sin dots per frame and shown as 100704 dots in 4 bitplanes and 171 colors. Enjoy!

Haha, the dot record goes more wild again
O_o?
Beautiful! Looks really amazing.
Great chippy as well (althou a little bit too short for me;)).

Nice dots!
Anothher dotty show. I like.

Technically impressive. But even better, it also looks unique and lovely.
Great looking dot aurora!
A beautiful, creative take on sine dots. In my book this doesn't count as beating Leonard's Chips and Dots single sine dot record, as it isn't quite the same. But you applied some cool tricks to make something different and better looking. And plotting 8392 per frame while doing something new - very impressive.
If anyone starts a registry of records, I'd nominate this for "most dots plotted that actually looks interesting"

More lovely BG loveliness!
Love it!
Love it!
Something new with dots !!! Nice
great production and a hell lot of dots :)

Yes, this is not exactly the same effect as Leonard's, since, as you say, his is a single sine dots and this are 8 mixed sine dots of 1072 each. To illustrate the difference a little better, this is what happens in each frame in both effects:
Chips & Dots:
frame 1 -> 7210 sinedots at sinY pos 1
frame 2 -> 7210 sinedots at sinY pos 2
...
Boreal Dust:
frame 1 -> 1072 sinedots at sinY pos 1 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 2 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 3 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 4 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 5 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 6 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 7 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 8
frame 2 -> 1072 sinedots at sinY pos 2 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 3 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 4 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 5 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 6 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 7 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 8 +
1072 sinedots at sinY pos 9
...
And since there are 8 different sine dots, I also draw each one with its own movement in different screen areas.
We could call this a "multi sine dots" vs the classic single sine dots (or simply sine dots). In any case, I think the most difficult part of record-keeping is defining the different categories, as it is sometimes confusing to establish what does and does not belong to the same type of effect.
Btw, I think both routines are based on yours from 3d demo 3, but looking for a way to draw more dots by taking advantage of the address registers :)

Great!
Quite a mouthful. Also what Hannibal said.
Looks great, regardless of potential records
* I must correct a typo in my previous comment, it is 1049, not 1072.
Dots dots dots! Serious stream killer. ;)
Great stuff!
Excellently one-upping the raw dot-plotting prowess with the overall presentation!
Looking good!
How do you clear the screen?
Ellipsis draws 8,820 individual dots at 50fps on Atari 520 STf However, the curve looks too messy. I'll fix that in the next one.

WOW, 8820 dots!
I would have to try removing all the additional bitplanes and colours from the copper list to see what is the maximum that could be achieved with this technique in a single colour.
I'm completely unfamiliar with Atari, but is it possible that the 68000 has a higher clock frequency than the 7.1 Mhz of the Amiga?

Very nice demo / tech / spirit!
Waiting for Leonard reply :)

Yes it is a bit faster 68k. Great dots!
hot dot experience ! :) Great!
8mhz but no copper or blitter, and 4 interleaved bitplanes
Ok, I clear the screen with the blitter.
So many tiny dots... It looked like a short of hi-color 3D plasma. Great stuff! And if it broke some record, even better.
My favorite entry in the compo. The chiptune is cool too.

Too tired... stupid typos: I meant "like a *sort* of"
Love'em dots! Congrats!
