Last week-end at Revision demoparty, demosceners have pushed further the limits of what can be done in a single 64kb executable file. Using extensive procedural techniques and compression : see Gaia Machina on Youtube.

Waiting for the same thing to happen on Amstrad CPC !

A new Amstrad CPC demo by the Dirty Minds group : Wolfenstrad, written by Optimus, graphics by Voxfreax and music by Sice.

You can download the Wolfenstrad demo here or on Pouet. You can watch it on Youtube.

This demo was shown at the FOReVER XIII demo competition. It uses a wolfenstein 3D like motor, already shown more than one year ago on Youtube.

It was prgrammed in C with SDCC but also in Z80 assembly.

The shortest Amstrad CPC demo by Arteffect is only 0 byte :

I let you see the result of this demo on Youtube.

Just copy this one line of basic code by Demoniak and paste it in WinApe in the File Menu (or Ctrl + F11, or with any other Amstrad CPC emulator. Just for fun, like the Nyan Cat.

P.S. : in the general settings of WinApe, click on display every 1 frame and Turbo Mode, or you may have to wait a bit...

P.P.S : the second image is another basic source (more than 1 line) by Tronic-GPA.

Nyan cat is an internet meme, referring to an animated gif of a cat with the body of a cherry Pop-Tart flying through space, leaving a rainbow trail behind the cat; or to a video of the animated ?.GIF?, set to a remix of the song "Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!",[1] or to any of several Nyan Cat based games.

It's now on Amstrad CPC, with the music adapted by John McKlain and the code by Demoniak (just for fun !).

Beware the Amstrad CPC Nyan Cat video on Youtube isnt the last version available (current version is 3).

If you cant read the french forum, here is the same thread on CPCWiki's forum.
