You guys must check this out!

Its a graphic demo type thing that has been done in pure Java Script.

Freakin amazing !!

Pretty cool... but WHY?

Some people have waaaaaaaaaayyy too much time on their hands!!

You guys never heard of the demoscene? Javascript demos are pretty cool indeed. The last demo I worked on was in Java, done in 1999 or so (http://www.infuse.org )

Btw, the javascript demo was for a competition, the Assembly '04 (http://www.assembly.org). You should check out the PC demo's as well, especially the demo who won 2nd place. (you need a DX9 video card to fully enjoy it).

Have you had look at the source? it seems to have been generated.

of the javascript demo? no I haven't looked at it yet.

How do they do the javascript demos? Do they use other programs to generate it for them?

I now saw the 'demo' Very old amiga effects all over the place! alot of these I've made myself also (in 68000 assembler ) years and years ago.

The effects are programmed, and they mostly use tables, which are generated (with a script or something). Almost everything you see is simply image scaling. (except the gouraud shaded ascii objects and the bobball rotater). So your routine is simply peeking into a table, using the value there to show the right image at the right spot in the right size and that's it Pretty clever though. It looks like they really have a pixelfiller and a vector routine but it's all fake (like real demos have to be!)

Why oh why did I sell my trusty old Amiga?!

Oh Boy, here we go again.... ...BA! HA! Why did i sell my amiga ...CRAP!! - Get over it!

Hehehehe, watch it or I'll go off on one about how much better Workbench was than windows
