this is a computer that’s almost entirely without graphical capabilities, so here’s a demo featuring animations and sound someone did last year

let me know if a big NotAwfulTech thread for demos would be fun and I’ll start one, since the demoscene is almost always not awful by definition

Does Lemmy bump threads regardless of age? If yes, +1 to a Demoscene megathread.

huh, that’s a good question. from https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html it looks like it should bump it, but I haven’t been seeing that behavior in my UI (which I usually just perch on the default front page)

I’m +1 for this too

Neat! It looks incredible and better on the actual hardware than on the emulator! (there’s a link in the video description to it running on emulator)

the way they use the real hardware’s cathode fade in the animations is awesome!

I did the first year of my O Level computer studies on one of these, they got rid of them in the summer holidays and we then had to do 2 years work in 1 year on BBC Micro.
