Oh wow that is amazing

Yes, that's what I meant when we talked about demos that don't look like their technically limited by their size.

Great work, eager to see the writeup

Code:int 10h ; set gfx mode 0 (40x25) mov bh,0xb8 ; set bx start of video ram mov ds,bx ; set data segment to video ram L: lodsb ; load a byte from ds:si (initially 0x100) sub si,byte 57 ; si == 199. 57 == 3*19 xor [si],al ; mangle some screen/audio data... out 61h,al ; PPI port B: do speaker stuff jmp short L ; do whatever the fsck you just did again

I see green on the screen, so there must be 0x02 at those places in vram. And 0x02 on port 61h is also the speaker on/off (link).
It's just white when I run dosbox without a special config, and HellMoods config has graphics as cga_mono and
Quote:
monochrome_pal = green

That's how the green gets into it.

So... it jumps around in the vram area, xoring 0x02 into random bytes. 57 and 65536 are coprime, so we have a long period until everything wraps around. Why it does the sound that it does - I don't know yet

It's 56 ;) (lodsb increments si)
The green comes from simulating an old monochrome CGA monitor
it does not actually set something to green (0x02)
Please have a little patience for the write up =)

Especially the sound turns out really nice, like a reverb!

The audio creates a perfect vibe that matches the visuals. Mind blowing 16 bytes 🤯

Super nice sound! Thx for the write up.

Normally I spend much more bytes on much worse sound. Impressive achievment. :-D

Experimental audio from very short assembler programs. And when I say very, I mean very!
