Before the night is over (boy this is gud for hed)
(bubblegum galaxy (working title) JoG "doasothers" section)
probably doesnt get hed but bem - we had plenty, no complaints if we dont get any anymore
ongoing :
https://www.demoparty.net/assembly/assembly-winter-2023
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_(demoparty) since 1992 , one of the bigger events (ofcourse northwest eurotrash/frozen wastes or drecklands again) - sure there will be awesome stuff , just like revision (should be) b/c these people have clout, money, sponsors, maybe even groupies and a bit of kitty on the side -
ofcourse with sponsors come limits but due to the prestige the biggest prods/releases tend to be released around these supermassive events (nothing compared to the superbowl ofcourse but in its way one of the bowls of scene yearly)
--- check it out, dont take our word for it -- (aka dont make us explain it we're way too lazy for that) its gonna have lots of shiney and also stuff people from disneyland will woaw over (assembly usually has) - - - the only problem is the finnish dont always bother with the english too much eheh (not as nationalist as america but close probably - ... tuff smarts)
upcoming :
https://www.demoparty.net/mountainbytes/mountainbytes-2023
(switzerland : ... there's probably some money overthere too but we dont know since even living in europe, places like switzerland and austria (or finland, or denmark or ... even holland atm) are out of reach to pauper trash like ourselves
Whats on the scene ?
the one that caught us most in our own rootzone Kokuhaku by Triad (4gentE)
(ofcourse @Airwolf_C64 has the video cap ready - thats what you get for peopl doing #stuff without borders - i mean sponsors b/c they wanna)
Not sure if you can call this classic Triad stile (like the uncle petscii series) due to its minimalist simple elegance not based on tektek but on concept and execution through creative use of resources ... i mean after 40 years of commodore64 all the possible "how many pixels per frame" (yea you read that right, this is not Nvidia) can i get at always50fps but how can i make someones face move in woa, aha or grink-erlebnis , but mostly about expression ofcourse (not that we wanna kiss ass here, since last post (o yea well, not our problem daily theres a ton of releases thing is for every one you get a youble you can display theres probably 10 or 15 or 20 that dont have one - the reasons for which will probably vary from "pfff" over "for your scene only" to "it doesnt do RIGHT on a youtube video"(which is all too often true as certain things dont even show on a not-crt screen just like certain things wont show on a not 4K-uhdr screen)
... and then
"just some pet"(you should try it sometime) but actually the moment we saw that its like "omg, thats the kind of mapscreen we need for middlersted"
Plain PETSCIImelee Island by https://demozoo.org/groups/37118/
and one other since last (we dont check all b/c we dont have 1500 emulators installed and we certainly dont have 50 hard machines either - - - - so , if some billionnaire wants to sponsor a "put the demos on youtube" project using starving kids in africa, china or india to convert it (you could even use starving kids from europe or the usa today if you like they have them now) , much obliged
Atari ST(e) series - its not because we used to have one (either actually) and sadly never an amiga (money, man ;;; moneyyyy) its just good oldfashioned gudness - not sure if you can call plasma screens "'90s oldskool" bc we dont really do that categorization thing they stick to
like music freaks who have 10.000 different genre terminology AND DONT YOU DARE call glitch tekno !
(you know ...)
CHECK IT OUT
well, this is how easy it is if you just type about #ourstuff and #yourstuff and #dostuff , never lost for words and globally speaking its a 24/7 ongoing party really ... theres always something somewhere and someone somewhere
IS CODING WITHOUT CHATGPT RIGHT NOW
... almost feel bad for the open AI suckers who got suckered into it by the billionnaire club and then got high on their own vibe ... i wouldnt wanna be in the vicinity when the lawsuits start piling. Its a crisis (which dont exist b/c inflation is over!) so the rich (the poor cant afford a lawyer, guv, THATS MAYBE WHY THEY DONT SUE AS MUCH) will feel like "you used an article by Steinberg Hot Hour economics" and now you owe us 10 ferraris ...BUT ITS ... also getting tiresome to talk about - as the triad demo states too : we TOO dont have too much faith in replacements that make carbon based brains obsolete
and last but not least the thing
POL ! proof of (notcompletely)lamer tho we dont like to say proof of l33t (ofcourse we are halfway above average and only half of us can be, thats not bad for a rank amateur impoverished noble skitzo collecttive trapped in a broken body , stuck in a hole made of kryptonite and buried in enemy territory, never to reach the skies again)
we found here :
https://medium.com/hackernoon/faking-3d-in-creative-coding-85b6b97eb38b in an article by George Galanakis as someone thought
"HEY, why dont we check some code as example and "do as others" instead of mucking about without regard for any norm or conformity
so this is the original code by George H, you can copypaste that to a html page and it will very likely work in a browser
var ctx = createCanvas("canvas1");
var particles = [];
var FOV = 250;function addParticle(){
var particle = {
x: random(-100,100),
y: random(-100,100),
z: 10,
x3d: 0,
y3d: 0,
speed_z: 2,
scale: 1,
colour: rgb(0),
}
particles.push(particle);
}function draw(){
ctx.background(0, 0.2);
addParticle();
moveParticles();
drawParticles();
}
function moveParticles(){
for (var i = 0; i < particles.length; i++) {
var p = particles[i];
p.z -= p.speed_z;
p.scale = FOV/(p.z+FOV);
p.x3d = p.x * p.scale;
p.y3d = p.y * p.scale; if (p.z < -FOV) {
particles.splice(i,1);
}
}
}
function drawParticles(){
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(w/2, h/2);
for (var i = 0; i < particles.length; i++) {
var p = particles[i];
ctx.fillStyle = rgb(255);
ctx.fillEllipse(p.x3d, p.y3d, p.scale, p.scale);
}
ctx.restore();
}
which is at first sight classic html5 canvas/javascript
a starfield not using particles inline code
and turned it to AGK basic (why agk basic ? gouts et couleurs, even if its not free its still our fav newskool basic there, bc we are actually not interested in "being down" ... with python or c bc everyone does it - we actually dont even care about winning or competing which, someone told us once, makes us weird specimens) we just wanna express and dostuff
the agk code doesnt really do what the original does anymore but it starts there SO
"bubblegum galaxy"
very likely turns into "introstyle" as an example for #galmeetsdemo submissions (so it definitely needs a logo, a small scroller and some noise)
and probably a useful routine in the making that can be used for the "do you deck demo"
no deadlines and ETA for earsly access (only €99.99!) by 2150
nothing to prove
the code ? well we have filosophy with science and we dont care to impress nor depress but so : if anyone is interested enough to mail you can certainly have the txt file, its not rocket sciens for the state . And the filosophy has sides: if you're not even interested enough to ask, then that saves us the time to post it
- as a footnote (to self) this uses drawcommands which in AGK always draw at the topmost layer st o to use that for a intro (as the scroll and logo would definitely need to be drawn closer than the starfield) the ellipses will need to be replaced with sprites - b/c we dont think pixelling every pixel on screen as an array including moving logos and scrolltext will be achievable using ask on low-mid spec pcs (even if its compiled, 4k is still a lot) which brings the problem of the gradient which now is built-in in drawellipse here, but wont be using sprites tho as for the rest using 1000 ellipses or 1000 sprites certainly wont be much to change (tho it likely wont make for a good 512k scipt lol)
::thumbsup
can use a new logo anyway, the others are gathering dust
...
one hour a pack of dishes , two cat food a half- catwalk and a bowl of rice cooking later
the mandatory p.s. ... i mean who the hell would believe its us if we didnt even edit the post once and made a draft last week to show off how we do it in five ?
... the tic-80 ( :) )
its cute and all but as for us : we have vice (and an actual breadbox) so why do 16color 8bit on a tic 80 in javascript which we already use for the website remains the question ... that wasm 256 color console seems a lot more attractive but the questions is when and where since its not like we dont know what to do when it leaves us alone
(call that what you will, psychosis is fine, but its probably scary , we keep saying just call it an autist, even if its not and its a lot more like a borderline combo that not documented other than the fact that its borderline-combo which makes janes ondergrond a more accurate description, if you say "autist" your one-track mind will feel safer and you'll certainly find officially state-stamped traits that make you go AHA iNDEED in it (it's a moving blob that borderlines on #stuff, but im sure its not just salems lot where its "just lazy" or something else using woke words for mean shit)
euhm ... o yea (ooh stringy) tic-80, well as a concept trying to cram into 256b for a loader for the site sure but its already javascript and that thing does javascript native so thats basically a copy-paste
tho bubblegum galaxy doesnt quite move and shine like the original does ... its on the stack - once we build a cloning vat to create more bodies per entity so we can divide it up better and have more arms that shouldnt be a problem
its quiet when its quiet and even more when it can focus on #stuff
on the vocore front ... we got to attempted compiling (probably a crime to skynet in 10 years) of an openWRT image that has functionality for the peripherals on the 2/ultimate enabled (and failed so far today - THAT ACTUALLY TAKES TIME ON A SIX CORE 4GHZ CPU, who woulda thunk , it takes like 10-10*x times longer than booting a unigine project to an executable -
but im sure we'll get there, vonger is too l33t and also not english native so the explanations can be a bit cryptic for stuff which is daily to the guy - - but mostly
once and if we DO, its not like we cant get around using ash shell script (and probably compiled C, which already is new on the stack to us) but having a map of the piano would be awesome,
you see, they have this pre-compiled command you can download and put on the cube named "mem"
which acts like poke / peek in basic but puts some mips in the register or a mem location
theres like five examples of "this addres makes the led on/off" and this address sets screen rotation but
there has to be more
i mean we got a map of the 64 that for all 65535 0000-FFFF bytes in the whole computer states which byte does what when pokes and what you can read when peeked
so we're hoping to get one :)
(for instance direct access to the screen not using a framebuffer device but also direct poking to the soundcard)
while you can perfectly stream to the /dev block devices from shell (or c ?) it would just be nice to have
and so the rice should be cooked
the p.s. is done and
the night is over but having written "nothing but #ourstuff" that totally doesnt feel like a waste
and pavlov gnome didnt even get through once since we woke up
::thumbsup
right, thats 4 pps'es and edits, its also time for 2nd cycle (wether you believe that or not, plato lives in our cave, the one you have is fake)
