• demo Atari STe The Coders' Guide To The Demoscene by Acid Team [web] & Jakub Husak
• Quite some controversy with this prod :)
  Releasing new demos for Atari ST/STE certainly shows effort and dedication, and there's for sure a lot of work in this demo, which must be acknowledged
  Music is great and original, +1 for that.
  Gfx might be AI generated, but as already told by other it doesn't look that different from general ST GFX ; also if the guys have some coders/musician but no gfx man to do their demo, why blame them for finding a solution, even if it's not "human drawn" ? At least it allowed them to release a demo.
  
  As for the huge data file and most of the effect being the result of streaming precalc data to screen, I agree this is not my idea of a ST/STE demo. As Alien wrote, at least demos in the 90s were precalcing things from the demo, which can be the real trick ; just streaming is really less impressive.
  
  So, good music, good result on screen, but oversized HW requirements that make the demo "macic" not working for me. Would have been OK in a "Wild" demo compo.

• 64k Atari ST Ika I Compofylla (party ver.) by Newline
• As if writing fullscreen code was not complicated enough, now all instructions need to use 2 words ! Congrats for such technical demo and thanks for breaking Hatari (in fact Hatari can support a very simple bus display mode, but it's very slow and must be enabled at compile time and in all cases it would not support this demo).
  
  Now that there's a real use case of the "bus noise", emulation can be improved to match the expected result.
  
  Once again : huge stuff !
  
  Note that demo crashes with 4MB ; not sure it's due to Hatari but to the technique used, maybe the demo should refuse to start if STF has mor than 2MB ?
