i think your atari has an identity crisis and thinks its a commodore machine!
big ups for concept and pace!

Hmmm. the executable link was obviously supposed to not be a png... sorry for that -> http://miniserve.defence-force.org/svn/public/atari/demos/defenceforce/TimeSlices/Final/timslces.prg
PRG, PNG, who cares!

I like this presentation. Its smooth, its sensational, its dbug back on the ST. Come back again soon :)
Nice intro, love monochrome demos :)
A nice trip down memory lane, I like. :)
Yes! Love mono demos. I remember to be hypnotized by the Atari SM124 at the market when I still had the CPC 464 and green monitor..
Nice one :)
great!!
like it!
Nice monochrome prod
WOW! That cool!
MONOCHROME IS NOT DEAAAAAAAAAAAD :)
yep =)
A nop-bending trip into 1-bit truecolour land. Wonderful!
ha nice one dbug! :D
Very good!
I love that quote from the nfo: "The development itself has been painful [because] I had to develop and test everything on the real machine."
We are all quite spoiled nowadays, aren't we? :-D

I updated the version with fixed code for the "Unusual" ste machines, and also took the time to add the monochrom screen detection, which I totally forgot to do :)
deserved winner
Yep!!
:)
Highres monochrome awesomeness!
(bravo for sharing the source code)
DBUG :) Mono :) Well done little prod !
soo nice!
nice one...
I remember enjoying the few mono screens of the demos back in the early 90's, but this one beats them all! Great one!
No non-cammed version?

If you mean, "video capture directly from the video output of the machine", then the problem is that you need both a specific Atari mono to VGA cable, and then you have to use a decent flicker fixer because all the demo is using double buffered pictures with alternate dithering to simulate gray colors on the monochrome screen (both for images and the raster bars effect).
On the Atari SM124 that works very nicely, without flicker fixer on a PC screen it looks like a psychedelic epileptic slideshow - and unfortunately I do not have that type of equipment :-/
Monocool.
how about a emu-capture then?

None of the available emulators are correctly emulating the monochrome mode.
The basic emulation works, but as soon as you do effects that are cycle accurate or you try to play with the STe additional registers or change the value of the color registers then the entire display is fubar :)
On the Atari forums, the maintainer of Steem wrote:
"Future version of Steem will support this demo.
I was looking for programs using HSCROLL in high res."
So there you go, I broke the emulators.
Again :)
really cool
Top notch quality. Dbug delivers again!
delivers
I originally made a youtube video capture from the real screen on the real hardware:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlpP7JVImGA
Then it was replaced by an emulator capture, made with Hatari which unfortunately does not support color changes in Monochrome, so there are issues (like the raster bars are on white background instead of black, most of the gray scale tricks are gone, and the big vertical scroller is missing):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahjYceQGjKM
So I made a new one, still on emulator, but using Steem SSE instead of Hatari, it's still not as nice as what you can see on the real machine, but at least all the effects are present, so if all you saw was the Hatari version, please check that one instead:

Thanks!
