Joe, do you know if Thorne's stuff is real? Or is it purely made up, a la Tucker Max?

Thorne gives Handler too much credit. Seriously, Ella thinks a slutty comic who drinks a lot, drives drunk, does drugs, and fvcks everything with skin has more intrinsic value than David Thorne? never! |

The executable that produced this is 64k bytes. For the computer illiterate, that is really ------- small in todays world of $75 1 terabyte external drives that are small enough to fit in your hand. Perspective: You could fit 20 copies of it on a standard 3.5" floppy disk and have some space left over. A .png screenshot of the youtube player (in standard size, not fullscreen) is about 6.5x larger than the program itself. ------- crazy. |
That's pretty interesting (and props.) I'd kind of lost track of the demo scene after I got out of the Amiga platform.
Rummaging around the Pouet site makes me rather curious about something. For instance, this demo was in the 4k category: (For the non PC-literate, 4k is about the amount of information that will fit on two typewritten 8.5x11" sheets of paper. It's a staggeringly tiny amount of data.) I just can't buy it. These demos have got to be downloading large amounts of information at runtime. How is that not cheating? |

I'm just trying to comprehend how you could even define a single strawberry in 64k, much less render it, much less render it in the middle of a large garden filled with lots of things that aren't also strawberries. With music.

As an example, I've done a full length song (~4 minutes) in about 2KB with full instrumentation using a MIDI format. The songs that are used in the 4kb and 64kb demos are incredibly simple, and would likely weigh in at a tenth of that or less I would imagine. The single strawberry in 64k...I think I have a handle on how they did it in so small of a size. I.e. shape Strawberry { Geometric points here defining the shape and reflective characteristics } render(Strawberry, screen location) It would not surprise me at all that they could manage to display a strawberry in a couple hundred bytes at the most, if you exclude the render code. |

I might actually have to watch this when it`s finally been enhanced in SUPER 3D
