- cracktro Amiga OCS/ECS Face the Music by Spreadpoint [web]
- Interesting and never seen before. But I am wondering if the jerks are
on purpose? Had the same idea for a scroller (with textured blitter
lines) back then and observed these - in my case unwanted - periodic
jumps during the rotation; never got it right. In retrospective I would
speculate that the order of loading BLTBDAT and BLTCON0 was wrong
and / or that loading of BLTCON1 with shift values was neglected. But
fortunately never had to face the music :-) - rulezadded on the 2024-04-09 18:08:28
- dentro Amiga OCS/ECS Rebirth by Binary
- Nice Rebirth-tro with neat design and mesmerizing Blitter tornado. I
also like the catchy / jaunty music. And hey, a jumping Amiga
ball...what more could one want? - rulezadded on the 2024-02-13 16:23:54

- 40k Amiga OCS/ECS A Murder Of Scrolls by Andromeda [web]
- Convincing minimalistic and functional Scandinavian design paired with
a nice and well-fitting tune. The scroller action looks sooo smooth and
the greetings part is captivating, too; it reminds me of PMC's infinity
zoomer from the early 90s.
Thanks a lot for this rejoicing release which set me in an excited mood;
felt a bit like a child on Christmas :-) - rulezadded on the 2024-02-04 13:33:32

Quote:...make a demo about it...
I am not a Platon, i.e., I do not have the knowledge and talent to
create such technically well-made demos. But even if I had the skills
I would be reluctant to deal with political / historical topics in a demo
since I (personally) would always be afraid of that I might have
missed, misunderstood or left out an important and crucial point -
regardless of how much I read up. Call me a coward :-)
Quote:...as long as it doesn't imply there is an equivalence between an atrocity...
I thought about it and somewhow I don't feel comfortable. To me it
sounds a bit like it is more tolerable and less bad if atrocities are
committed by terrorists. I would prefer to say if a state is commiting
those crimes then the state is not any better than the terrorists.

Quote:...to water it down...
I understand what you mean. But still I (personally) have problems
and do not want to separate the one from the other (see also bsp's
comment, 2024-01-22 00:08:43). My (imaginery) demo would have
had a split screen showing the murdering, killing, and suffering of
both sides. But with that, I guess, the statement would be a slightly
other one than in "is real".

Quote:The best chance for peace came to a sudden end when Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated...
I fully agree with that.
Final words:
It was very interesting and informative to read through the
comments and to discuss with you. Made me thinking. Peace. - isokadded on the 2024-01-26 12:53:54

Quote:It's not about a conflict in the past
Thanks for pointing this out. I know. And you are right, most of my
thoughts were not strictly demo-related and rather a (superficial)
pondering about the conflict in general. But what I wanted to say
and is important to me was:
Quote:One must not forget what preceded and led to the current outrage.
And with that I mean what happened on 7 October 2023. These
victims should not be forgotten. - isokadded on the 2024-01-25 15:22:56
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Is Real by Desire [web]
- I am not an intellectual nor I am a historian and on top that I have
difficulties to express my thoughts but despite all of those
shortcomings I would like to leave a comment:
One must not forget what preceded and led to the current outrage.
Atrocity, hatred, and innocent victims can be found on both sides. I
reckon the majority is sick of this everlasting conflict but a minority
of radicals and fundamentalists seems to be sufficient to fuel and
keep the vicious circle going. The parties have to recognize that the
"opponent(s)" will not disappear and - easier said than done - the
past and hatchet has to be buried and a compromise must be found
(the whole thing is awry and conflict-laden right from the
beginning). But i) as long as the Palestinians are not respected and
no agreement on an own state will be found (there have been
negotiations and offers over the last decades but all of them were
turned down by the Palestinian leadership if I am not mistaken) and
ii) as long as the terroristic attacks on Israel will continue and the
eradication of Israel is on the agenda of certain groups, I really do
not see a change for the better.
Thoughts of a back-seat driver. Thanks for your attention. Amen. - isokadded on the 2024-01-25 11:59:22
- 40k Amiga OCS/ECS Desire FM by Desire [web]
- What, no one has commented on the sphere yet? It rocks like the other
parts of this "I have to rub my eyes and look twice! Is this really
OCS?" demo; it feels more like OCS++ :-)
And all of that in just 40k. Thanks a lot for this impressive and exciting
release. I like!!! - rulezadded on the 2024-01-24 10:15:53
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Ordo
- That is a very, very nice and different first release - also noteworthy it is
a one-man show. I really do like the gfx (in particular the bears) and
how it is being presented. Definitely more than a slideshow. I like :-) - rulezadded on the 2024-01-08 16:38:45
- demo Amiga OCS/ECS Hot Dots by Coma
- I can recall this one because it looked so much better and mature than
the previous releases. Never heard of the coder Jackie D. before, but I
really got impressed with his nice and swift dot effects. Moreover, it was
the first time I got aware of Virgill's work :-) - rulezadded on the 2024-01-01 15:18:31
