Great!

Love the patterns. Looks really nice in the video (but headache inducingly flashy in an emu)

Happy birthday Diver!

@evilpaul, yes, it is always a problem to capture something like this properly. I just uploaded 50Hz video onto the Youtube; it should give a fairer representation of the resulting visuals (watch it in Chrome as HD video). Sadly, when not in HD, Youtube simply drops every other frame, which is just a disaster...

It goes without saying that this demo is a lot less flickery on a 50Hz monitor, but somehow, I kind of like the kind of flicker you get on the 60Hz monitor too. Gives it a kind of a quicksilver sheen.

One of the best ZX prods I saw lately !!! I like the design (design here = music + visuals + code, all together).

Very good design and nice idea for the effects! I like this fast and dynamic demo style on ZX platform, much more than all these "30 minutes long" c64 demos :)

awesome visuals! the music is nice, maybe even too nice and pretty and well-behaving, i would have liked a bit more tension and edgy things, to suit the visuals

Ossom!!! I had to make screenshots to check if there's no ULA+ used =)
I would vote with 'thumb up' thrice if I could =)

nice effect and music

The most overall quality zx-spectrum prod since never.
I praise, I don't know, what should I do to make introspec make a whole entire complete demo. But if I knew, i'd do it immediately.
In another words, I can't explain how cool, badass and genius introspec is.

Not bad. :)

Simple, nice, efficient. Great job! I like it much.

How are the effects synced with the music ? Are they played independenty in parallel with pre-defined timeouts or is there some kind of real-time analysis of the sound ?
rulez added on the 2014-11-29 22:47:29 by __sam__ __sam__
@__sam__: A mixture of the two. A low-pass filtered global volume is used for less important variations (e.g. the radius of the ball is based on it). More critical, "structural" variations (effect and palette switches, animated "beats") are kicked off by the hand-written script.
