gantz graft in 4k
rulez added on the 2003-08-10 16:02:41 by _-_-__
Pretty much the best PC 4k I've ever seen.
not often you see a really good 4k for linux! nice.
oh god just rocks!
There were many good 4k:s (in my opinion) but this sure deserved to win.
Yes. Deserved to win. I don't think this is the best PC 4k I've seen but the best Linux one. The music is as good as in Amiga 4k's.
nice!
and win32 port thank you:D
the source is there, port it yourself
Actually it's by fit and bandwagon. Excellent 4k anyway.
This was amazing, by far the best 4k I've ever seen. Judging by the beginning I was expecting some artsy minimalism crap but when the demo begun properly my jaw nearly hit the floor.
The first good Linux 4k I've ever seen -- not the world's best 4k IMHO but it's a good one. :-)
I've uploaded a Windows port to scene.org, but at the time of writing they don't seem to have moved it out of /incoming yet. :-)

big up. this rocks!
Again, there were some nice entries around, but this really made it clear it would win :-)
great stuff! first seconds we were like 'wtf is this? another linux crap?!', and then it began to go all whacky!.. 8)
This is rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
rock
rulez.
Glad you released the sources too :-)

The intro really kicks, I could see now the Windows port (you'll need SDL.dll!). The sound quality could be imo better (maybe a problem with the port).
But does it still fit the term '4k intro' when you need the SDL stuff under both Linux and Windows?

Crest, yes, because sdl.dll ist just what d3dx.dll is under win ;) (well, not really, but you should get the point...)
Oh, and the intro rocks of course. One of the best 4k tunes too. :)

Mega Cool!
People have complained about the sound on the Windows port, but AFAIK it should be identical (it's the exact same .asm file spitting out 44100hz 16-bit stereo samples), and the one person I know who has access to both Linux and Windows machines right now have confirmed they sound the same :-) Perhaps something about the sound on the demoshow/realmedia stream or something :-)
sesse's win32 port crashes over here (leaving the desktop at 640*480*256c - evil)
so where's my mac port, antti & markku ;)
so where's my mac port, antti & markku ;)
It crashes if SDL.dll is not in an accessible path (fsg limitation :-) ) or if your OpenGL drivers are very very bad. (Mac port will be quite hard, I'd believe, as most of this is pure asm :-P)
Windows version of SDL needs larger sample buffer at least with some sound cards. On the other hand, too large a buffer ruins the synchronization.
I can do better with my zx spectrum
friol: Kewl! Please post a link when it's done ;v)
Updating the drivers and/or setting sound card acceleration on has usually helped with the SDL small buffer problem.

yeah, friol do it speccy rocks!
no comment about this demo tho coz i haven't seen it... seems to be cool tho

I prefer other entries(AcidIce)
hey, cool!
First of all, thanks for all the positive feedback. Checked the win32 port on my W98, seems to be ok, but not identical. The sample plotter keeps jumping for one and the bass line sounds weird. There's also something wrong with the object outlines, but that might be an OpenGL mistake of mine. Nice work anyway, I'm surprised the port is under 4096 bytes. We'll probably be working on ports of our own at some time. Marq has a C version of the softsynth, so a Mac port will be available too. :)
We're quite surprised this turned out such a hit. It's about time they fixed the credits here though. :)

absolutely beautiful
Best production so far this year... (followed up by zoom3).
Probably one of the best productions in general, and that its a 4k and not a demo is just a plus.

neckfreak i sent a mail to analogue about the credits.. guess it should be fixed once he get to do the next batch of fixes ;)
surprising, cool and fresh... and it's not a shower gel
about time that somebody brought style into pc 4ks. This kicked ass on the bigscreen!!
Best 4k intro I've ever seen. Nanna <3
very nice..
That one was, kinda boring :/
This one RULEZ <3
not sure what was so special on that. many ppl were kinda surprised anyway. it even got some other inofficial price from some swedish guy for "new ideas" or something... not sure about it anymore. was halfasleep half of assembly ;)
Here's one for the SGI lovers:

A great intro. It deserved the 1st prize.
sooo awsome
This intro got a special prize from the Alternative Party folks for fresh ideas (and we are Finnish, not Swedish!).
Now the next good thing would be a win32-version that even works.
Here's to Saffron and other Mac owners:
http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/yellow_rose/Yellow_Rose.osx.tar.gz
The Windoze version is under development, but requires further work because most sound drivers seem to suck bigtime.

Ok... SDL and our code might suck as well ;v) But nevertheless, why is it for Windows that small buffer sizes fail? OSX is happy with 1k block and with Linux you can go down to 512 bytes with about any soundcard.
win32 crashes after about one second of animation (no sound) on all my machines.
thanks for the mac port, marq! Now i'm finally able to watch this...
For me the specialty of this product was in that it was just so very different from the other 4k entries and just about any other 4k entry I've seen. It looks beautiful in a pure, minimalistic way and joins nice music and visuals in a pleasing way.
Pretty much the first 4k intro I've seen which promotes design and style and for that I believe it deserves the special mention given to it by the Alternative Party. My only complaint perhaps is the name which didn't do anything for me.
Interestingly enough, the voters seemed to agree. For once!

Nice work :) tune was great too for 4k, design was excellent. Colour scheme could have been more interesting, but it fitted well. Make some more plz!
Thumb please.
cool one (though i don't see the connection to gantz graf :)
yay for windows port
rocks.
yes!
the yellow rose of texas seems surprisingly grey.. nice music.
Nice official port, now it looks so perfect like it should :)
yeah! very good 4k!! A little bit short for me, but anyway, it's a great 4k! So.. i don't think that gantz graf effect is here, fuck off!
Who said desing in 4k wasn't possible...
Cool intro, one of the first 4ks with interesting music ;) and an additional thumb for the effort you put into the Win and Mac ports

why not?
yes baby
Very good mix of fine graphics and music in small size. And source code included, too \o/
graphics are ok... (why isn't it YELLOW?) :p
music is... ooooh
music is... ooooh
Yes, this was nice. And it's good to see an excellent Linux production.
very nice!
and extra points for the OSX port :)
it just wasn't very yellow...

Here comes the first version with the ugly software renderer:

Occasional sound glitches possible, because SDL and AHI aren't too good friends.

yes
A video of it would have been nice , remeber everyone doesnt have a pc or mac...some actually USE amiga only here...
so give us a avi or something.

toaks: lamer!
Finally Assembly showed some taste at all!
:)
This one really deserved to win, without any doubt.
for the music
wow! whatta music, i love it!
this one really rocks

One of the most impressive 4k intros I've ever seen. The music just rocks!
an amazing choreography
Some sort of buggy PPC Amiga port: http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/yellow_rose/Yellow_Rose_PPC-Amiga.lha
AHI required. There's also a version for minigl. Picasso compatible cards don't seem to be supported...

yeah! best 4k ever
several asm '03 productions gave me a great feeling that the scene still is progressing and that I can still be surprised, impressed or totally blown away by an intro or demo. This was definitely one of them!
sexxy
bäsy! surprising, nice nad donatinhg!
cool 399k intro.
(I'm sorry, I'll never accept SDL as a system-lib)

SDL? Come on. This sucks really.
@Tomeas: D3DX links static. So it's not like SDL.
@Tomeas: D3DX links static. So it's not like SDL.
I think it's quite pointless to argue against SDL here:
1. SDL was allowed in the compo rules
2. It would have been possible to do the same with GLX/OSS for example but then it would have been Linux only. Multiplatform is the way to go.
3. Nag nag nag. Do you really think the whole prod was done with a single call to SDL_Make4kIntro()?

Marq, it's surely not SDL_Make4kIntro(). I think, it's just not fair, thats all.
you missed the point anyway.
d3dx is not a dll, but glu is.
and anyway, you can't really do much more with d3dx apart from not having to write your own matrix/vector/texture routines which wouldn't take up that much space anyway.
as far as I see, SDL was only used for opening the window and replaying the music. sure, it can be natively ported to windows, hell it even may've reached ~4k there, but if their choice was Linux, then it was probably the best way to choose sdl since it's small (few imports) and it's considered a part of the OS anyway... same way as people think about directx or opengl libraries under windows.

Great 4 + 225k intro :) Not the best 4k ever! I don't understund people why says such a thing. It's only good.
"cool 399k intro"
"reat 4 + 225k intro"
Heh, you dolts, just remember how big an installation of DX is :)
Great 4k, not the best in my books, but damn good.

What if i thinking in dos, pure asm intro ? :)
cool sound and SDL *is* standart on Linux like DirectX is on Windows.
i think that yellow rose is not the best 4k, but one of the best!

It rocked alright!
And if there were any standards in Linux, SDL would surely be one of them.

One of the best 4k intros. Extra plus for compability (and yes people, SDL is standard, just not on your wintel boxes =)
impressive! i'd love to have a capturing video of this one though. ideas anyone?
A Quicktime video can be found here:
http://ftp.kameli.net/pub/fit/yellow_rose/Yellow_Rose.mov
In the same directory there's also the soundtrack and the non-Linux ports.

Yes, and do you know that SDL is a platform abstraction layer, and not a direct route to the hardware? It's simply made to make stuff easier. And those who bitch about "well, we need it to be multiplatform", take a trip with the clue-train. you can allways do the abstraction youself. And no juhees, SDL is NOT directx for linux. Visit their webpages, they are located at www.libsdl.org. Do you find ANY claims of being directx for linux? It is a damn abstractionlayer. The fact that a shitload of crappy linux-dorks choose to use it for their pathetic mmorgs and whatnot don't change shit. SDL don't bring anything new into the system except fuckin abstraction.
Asswhipes.

for the slow ones: the previous post was aimed at the morons claiming silly crap, not fit+bandwagon
asswipes it is.. not "asswhipes"-- zoidberg rules
linux prods rock! and stop whining about sdl.
Titanstar: ofcourse! As we all know it's the platform at nothing else that decides if a prod rocks!
asswhips:)
kusma: isn't DirectX an abstraction of the hardware? I don't care as a coder if there are more layers between SDL and the hardware than between DirectX and the hardware. I don't care how it is technicaly done, all i care is how i can use it (as a coder) and from this point of view SDL is like DirectX (without an own 3D API, you have to use OpenGL).
good.
juhlees: well, you are obviously a moron. congratulations.
stylish.
Kuspiä: Have you considered that instead of calling people names here you could spend your time more productively? Like coming up with a single original idea for an Excess demo. Only one, that should not be asking too much.
kusma, do you actually believe what you are saying? It could only be some very high level of sarcasm..
How the hell would one make a 64k for Linux anyways?
I think the problem with sizelimited prods on Linux systems is that there is no standard whats so ever for a clean Linux system.
If SDL is included with the Linux system in the compospecs then it obviously is OK to use. If it's not then.. Ofcourse -no.
And yes- comparing SDL with DirectX is stupid, DX is a direct abstraction layer against drivers, SDL is a second abstractionlayer.

works fine on mac os x too!! rocksoti rocks0r
the best four-k synchro i ever seen..
upper!!

This fucking rules :)

nice
Cool! But why yellow?
yeah baby yeah !
Marq: no, i prefer making envmapped spikeballs.
and in case you didn't notice, i thumbed this prod up for being a cool prod, but the technical stuff don't hold up for a 4k. as simple as that.

Somehow even your compliments sound like insults... But whatever, it's not a friendship scene, after all.
really nice. make the source code a little cleaner and easier to read next time, please =) also 100% english specifiers and comments are preferred.
In the directory of kameli.net there's a cleaner C source. I recommend the source of Je Regrette if you need a foundation for a 4k Linux intro.
the music didn't really grab me and the monochrome visuals left me unengaged as well. technically very proficient, but it didn't inspire or evoke.
Very nice.
4k? wow.
grand
really nice
eh it was mildly entertaining...the music was pretty good tho :D
perhaps the best 4k ever
lovely
rocks
OMFG :D:D:D:D
Wonderfull prod

duh... where was my thumb during the last 3 years ?
beautiful.
Not a "Gantz Graf in 4kB", but very nice prod indeed. Rulez!
Look at it go! =)
Wow, that's pretty nice indeed. I didn't like the music that much tough.
Runs perfectly on MacBook.
It's alive.
It's alive.
Really nice one, especially the zik.
nice
still one of the best 4k ever made
awesome
Cool tune, and nice synched animation. But a bit more content or some more (a second) effects would have been desirable for an „best 4k intro”!
Great stuff
a late thumb up, as usual.
it's coooool, and one of the best soundtrack in 4k ever imho
it's coooool, and one of the best soundtrack in 4k ever imho

Does it actually work and look the same on a PPCAmiga? Kool!

Additional points for the enormous amount of platforms!

My favourite 4k of all time.

best little 4k whorehouse in texas !
It says up there ^ that there's a mobile phone port, anyone got a link?
All the ports are here. It requires S60 3rd ed. with 3d hw.
awesome!
Great music.
Fantastich, but on my phone animation is sooo jerky.
looks great
4k has come a long way
Pretty overhyped for an average 4k - nevertheless it still is one of the few releases which prove that linux intros do not necessarily need to suck!
(and THX for xplatform)

I agree that its overhyped but its is niec and worthy of thumb.
This may seem average today, but it was a breakthrough at the time. A brilliant example of how to use simple means to achieve great things.
iPhone version available here, thanks to wbs: http://www.modmyi.com/cydia/package.php?id=3276
Good tune and an enjoyable visualization concept.
one of the best
stylish, and also pretty good in the sound department
Nice!
Sick! And thumbs for the ports!
6 years late thumb
One of the best 4k intros I've ever seen. Good design and great music.
bored.
The Android port is now on Android Market - just search for Yellow Rose.
how come I never thumbed this one?
I'm late but.. heyyyyyy...
I'm late but.. heyyyyyy...
Processing "port" of Rose here, might or might not work on your browser: http://www.kameli.net/~marq/pROSEssing/
very nice
I loved it on my PPC Amiga
Available on the Android market :D
Excellent!
Not Gantz Graf, but still a nice prod.
Very stylish, but unfortunately I thought it was marred by so so images a couple of times.
Amazed I was by the tune, efx and the ambient, when it was released.
One of the pearls... imho.

hmmm... i never liked it, i can't explain why but in the same style I prefer replay's cute flat-shaded intros.
Awesome
Nice intro
i haven't thumbed this up yet? wtf :D just watching android port \m/
Freshly available Raspi port
It's still great work as a Linux 4k!
Wide availability is also advantage!
Wide availability is also advantage!
Nice 4k!
don't like it, the effect is great but looks way way too aliased and messy. the music is pretty average for its time, which to me pretty much translates to 'bad'. i also think the visualization on the ground makes it look really kitschy.
try to be stylish but instead looks messy and music is annoying. never liked this 4k.
simple but pretty cool. big thumbs for multiplatform support .]
Now available on Haiku: http://haikuware.com/directory/start-download/multimedia/video/effects-generation/yellow-rose-of-texas
I could not get this version to 4K, it's currently 7990 bytes including embedded depacking shellscript. Any hints ?

I'm going to thumb this up, I enjoyed watching it and it's a 4K for Linux, which was not something easy to do.

Thanks for Mac release, but ppc mac and not intel :(
Very cool 4K. Can't believe there are some idiots whining about the usage of SDL.

Android version really fits the portrait mode of the mobile. :)
Is this the most ported demo?
I think Planet Hively is (although it's a music disc).
yes
nice for a 4k
Oh my fucking God <3
Ooops ;p
Sorry, can anyone port this to my fridge?
Nice little 4k, just saw it for the first time at ASM Winter 2020
Very nice!
respect
Nice!!
Beautiful!!
