Well, here's the little intro I put together
for the Syntax 2007 oldskool demo competition.

It's my first ever attempt at coding anything
for the unexpanded VIC-20, and I'll say that
it was a bit of a pain in the arse.

I started off coding in an emulator - hell, I
even got it to the point where I thought it 
was finished, only to discover after I'd
copied it to disk that VIC-20 emulators don't
emulate certain aspects of The Real Thing too
well.

So I started hacking out pieces of the intro
until it didn't look fucked and this is what
is left.

Which is ironic, because I'd been wrestling
with the memory limit before that, and then
suddenly I was able to waste bytes all over
the shop.

The sound is enough to make your ears bleed -
I'm not apologising, though.  I just really
couldn't be fucked making a proper music
player in the end =)

Massive respect to the VIC-20 coders who have
made GOOD demos for the VIC, esp. PWP, DKD,
CNCD & the rest.

Greets to all who came to Syntax 2007,
especially the orgas - cTrix & gaiaSword -
they really did put together an awesome
awesome awesome party.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the intro.

Cheers,

ript.
