Hi Grey ! :-) Hi everyone at the SillyVenture 2000 ! :-) Hi RafalK. :-) This is "Illness at Night and Lack of sleep". --------------------------------------------- Well, here it is, my very first personal 4ktro. It is smaller than 4KBytes, but it had a small music before ... However, WITH the music i never got it below 4800 bytes so i had to skip the music. Besides, the music created a bug so that the sprite moved very very unsmoothly from time to time ... And i just didn't find it. The odd part is that in the current version of the Excuse-tro, the sprite moves very smoothly along WITH the music ! They never interfere. I assume i have done something wrong in the demo-engine itself then even though i am not sure what it is. Can't find any other bug so i assume it's all working now, hopefully. I never tested it on STE or ST but it has been written for the simple ST. I have tried under Backwards and it works so i'm hoping that it will also work on a real ST. If not, remember Mystic Bytes' excellent work with "Breath" or TNB's SillyConvention Demo. ;-) Okay, this is a bit similar to Spion (Escape)'s appearance on the Error in Line'99, where he presented "I can do stars", the only 4ktro that was entered and therefore disqualified. This is my first approach to that chapter of demo-programming, trying to create small programs. A few credits for this small package of code: - ICE-Packer by AXE of Superior (excellent packer) - Demo-engine used in the intro has been written by EVIL of DHS - The simple graphics and the even more simple code by The Paranoid I am a bit proud on it though, it does what it is supposed to do and i didn't copy the code for moving the lightflare, at least i have done that part completely by myself. :-) Enjoy SV2K everyone, signing off, The Paranoid Paranoia Think you can handle it ?!
