ââââAbout the demo ···········································
"Flower" is a 256 byte textmode MSDOS intro. It is a very
simplified version of an effect that is part of the
Invititation (an invitation for the 2002 TMDC). If you
haven't seen it I hightly recommended you do. Here's the
link in Pouet:

The original is much more sophisticated and has several
'stages' but I think this captures a bit of it's spirit in
255 bytes.
There is probably plenty of space for optimization. The code
of the effect is 223 bytes so I filled the remaining bytes
with the 'TMDCv' text as a tribute to the "Text Mode Demo
Contest" which was a pseudo-anunual demo-making contest where
only texmode demos are allowed. I love textmode demos and I
recommend you visit the website:

Head on to Pouet to see lots of great textdemos:

I provide the sourcecode of this version and will do a
longer writeup in my blog (https://cesarmiquel.github.io).
Stay tuned!
