Sphaera Stellarum by Noice [web]
Release info ------------ Name: Sphaera Stellarum Platform: Atari VCS/2600 PAL, 8kb ROM cartridge Release Date: 2011-11-13 Code: Shadow/Noice Music: Ilmarque/Trilobit History behind this demo ------------------------ Hearing that there would be an Atari 2600 demo compo at SV2k11, I of course wanted to participate (to my knowledge the first time a party has arranged a compo for that sweet old 1977 hardware!) The first thing I got done was the dot-sphere that the demo is named after. I think it looks nice and hi-res for a 2600 effect! Then I just started to fill out with some additional effects to have a demo. The hardest thing was actually the text-writer, the code to get those 12 chars on screen was a fight with cycles and timing and took many days to write, as opposed to the dot-sphere which was very easy and straightforward in comparison! How to run it ------------- Run the .bin file in your VCS-emulator of choice (I recommend Stella), or put it on a 8kb EPROM or your Harmony cart and run it on the real thing! Thanks to --------- Ilmarque for the great tune. Grey/Mystic Bytes for his work in getting the Atari 2600 demo compo to happen. Jakub Husak for offering to be in stand-by-mode to deliver a tune when I didn't know if Ilmarque would have time to finish his or not. Additional info --------------- Created with Kick Assembler.
