• demo invitation Amiga AGA No-CPU Challenge by Demostue Allst★rs
• This needs a huge thumbs up. We all knew that the coprocessors are Turing complete, but it takes a huge effort to make anything look remotely interesting. The copper showdown editor and Savior’s Interceptor intro also deserve a lot of respect, but this entry went so much further. I love that it is not a typical tech demo, but a complete demo with great art, music, coherent design and lots of different screens and effects. Wow

• Yep, the mul trick helped stabilize the raster. It wasn't 100% steady like Blueberry's, Rhino's, or Gigabates' version, but it was good enough, and much better than AOUTS.
  
  Another "trick" was to remove branching from the copper and instead just duplicate the copper colors (and ham bitplanes) 4 times - Rhino did this as well, so I thought this was fair game :-) This is a big reason for why it is so short - there's a lot more blitting happening than in other versions.
  
  Those two tricks weren't the critical improvement, though :-)

• I appreciated that this is the only rotzoomer that has managed 100% cycle-stable CPU while having audio DMA is interleaved with copper DMA. Very clever, and I reused that trick in my latest release, too.

• It's mostly the same techniques as AOUTS, with one critical improvement (which I am sure some of you will spot).
  
  Yes, it could be a little taller, but I chose to focus on a nice design instead - using a large 5-bitplane logo and dual playfield scroller (both in overscan), which stole a lot of cycles.
  
  The design started with Critikill's grafitti logo, which led Virgill to the hip-hop theme, then CK's tag font, and Teo jumping in to help finish off the music.
  
  I created the texture in werkkzeug instead of using a photo or AI image just to make something that fit the color scheme. The image doesn't need rainbow colors barfed all over it to be truecolor, but i still think there are around 50-100 unique colors in it.
  
  In another post Blueberry said that 376 pixels are visible on real hardware on some displays, and my monitor shows 371 pixels. That would be 94 columns (or 93 full and 2 partial columns) as the limit, so this is maybe not the end - but I am out of ideas to make it wider.
  
  This battle has been so much fun - thank you Blueberry, Gigabates, and Rhino, I learned from all of you :-)

  sunjohn and virgill making demos and breaking world records. is it '92 or what? :D love it! also kickass logo by ck <3

  
  Teo, your psychic abilities are impressive, but *this one* was not 92, only 80 :-)

• Very cool
  
  Nice pick for soundtrack and graphics, and the name was clever. Plus the music and texture are both well done.
  
  Thank you for releasing your non-HAM version, it was cool to study. The HAM version is the star of course. I love that it is a sizable improvement over your own previous record, but on top of that you have added the rubber effect to it - everything takes time, but it adds style. Respect
  
  Is 384 pixels the screen hardware limit? I dont think I've ever done anything beyond 352.

  Haven't had time to peek at this yet, but I'm excited to see the tricks you use.

• @magic It was trackloaded because I have a solid trackloading demo OS, with a custom build toolchain, a rapid iteration loop, and lots of helper functions. It is enjoyable to use, and made it super fast to put this together.
  
  Everything could of course be done as a single-file executable, but that would be less fun for me.
