So We Just Buzz by PULS [web]
Title: SOWEJUST (So We Just Buzz)
Category: Demo
Rank: 2nd
Party: Forever-Party o17 - Horna Suca 2016
Features: The feelings of a Thomson coder when it comes
the time to create a production containing music.
Group: PULS (http://www.pulsdemos.com)
Author: __sam__ (Samuel Devulder)
Machine(s): Thomson TO7/70, TO8, TO9, TO9+ (6809e @ 1Mhz)
without any expansion.
Format: Standard thomson disk with bootloader allowing
to boot on any machine having a floppy controller,
even if it only has BASIC 1 without dos extensions.
Remarks: 1) The demo loops again and again, byt you can quit
it any time by pressing a key.
2) This demo features a novel 4 voice player
for the Thomson machine. It uses all the CPU
but only needs the standard buzzer. The last
voice is able to play drums instead of instrument.
The buzzer player is inspired by the work of
UTZ on the Spectrum, but the tracker-format
has been massively optimized to occupy very
little memory and provide many extensions like
text-printing which is used all along this
production.
4) The music is a cover of a song entitled "Alors
on dance" from a Belgium artist named "Stromae"
(c) Universal 2009.
The GFX is also conversion of his single-CD
picture. http://tinyurl.com/hdbu65r
The lyrics are mine and are covered by a WTFPL :)
3) The source-code is provided in the archive.
4) This prod has only been tested on emulators
(but should run fine on real machine as well :) )
