Holy crap...
Boy this demo compotition snook up on me. As you may or may not know, I had originally planned to make an intro called 'Entropy Increasing'. But I went to Spring Break 99 (the only demo party in the United States as far as I know). I was the only mac coder there, so I had to show something. After 36 hour day, I entered 'Entropy Increasing', into the compotition. It had grown by 150kb, three or more effects, and a music file, in the past 24 hours. It took 2nd place, only to a linux group from Chicago. (that's write the best PCs took was 3rd place...) So I released it, and decided to make something else for the Mac 64kb compo.
That was about 3 weeks ago. I haven't had as much time as I would have liked. So Dancing Dream isn't as well formed as I would have liked it to be.
The biggest adventure in coding Dancing Dream has been the compression. The beta testing app is actually about 107kb. Go check the app you got as an entry, it's just below the 64k mark by about 788 bytes. Wow. You do not know what I went through to do that.
That's why I'm going to tell you.
Code is the largest part of the demo. I needed sound, Cody was still in the process of coding a new MOD player, he estimated something around 2kb of code, unfortunatly, he has a life (whatz up with that?) and a job, so he couldn't get it done in time. So I had to use the regular Zerius system(also by Cody...), that's 40kb of code. My 3D code takes up about 14kb (file loder, texture mapper, matrix crap...), and the other effects use about 20kb.
So how is it done? Well, the app you double click is not actually the demo...
It's a decompressor, it unpacks a code fragment, and then runs that.
The music is 'caffeine' by Chavez(Uwe.Haertel@T-Online.de), a mod that is only 16kb (and I even compressed that..)
All in all, IGNORE THIS DEMO!!! It does not represent my graphics ability. Instead go to my demo page and look at pictures of Nor.
