.-----------------------------. | Night Flight | | A Text Mode Demo for TMDC15 | | by Komojo | | komojo@gmail.com | '-----------------------------' ...because I can't think of a better title. This demo is mainly an experiment to see what I can do with a new rendering technique and 3D texture-mapped polygons. There isn't much of a theme other than "things that look cool in this art style." Here is a reenactment of how I made this demo: "Hey, I've got an idea! Why don't I make a demo with animated 3D characters! Hmmm...not enough time to learn how to make and export the models. Why don't I just hard-code everything one vertex at a time? It's a terribly nerdy way to make a demo, but it works. Uh oh, the C runtime libraries are taking up too much space! I should try to avoid using any library functions. Hmmm...I just spent a whole day trying to do that and it isn't working. I can't get the file size under 64k if I use the library functions...unless I take out the audio. What now? Do I keep trying to replace the library functions? Do I not worry about the file size since it isn't a requirement anyway? Or do I come up with a whole new soundtrack at the last minute?" Clearly the third option is the most fun, so that's what I decided to do. I did all the code, graphics and music myself. The exe is compressed with UPX.
