Javascript Logo/Font effect - Flag
Переглядів 66Рік тому
A simple effect using javascript to create a bunch of dots that accelerate toward target positions on a font. Because of the inertia set, they continue a loop of overshooting and compensating resulting in an organic wavy pattern. This one is like a waving flag

DWTBOOT Demo - Opt-out Lamer Demo

This is a snippet of a part of the DWTBOOT Demo (by The Immortals) which was shown if you backed out of the demo because of the naughty language. Is it PC to call people Lamers these days? It was the zeitgeist in the demo scene back then.
DWTBOOT demo - Loading screen

This is a snippet of the main loading screen for the DWTBOOT demo (Don't Want To Blow Our Own Trumpets) by The Immortals. The demo remains unfinished due to a catastrophic hard disk crash in the early 1990s. I didn't have a backup, but a few things remained on floppy, like this.

Why don't you have only 40 subscribers? You literally helped make Pac-Man games
I don't post many videos. Maybe one day I'll start posting a bunch of stuff.
@@TheRealBobHickman still wish you had more then 50 subscribers
Who’s here because of Russell Davies?
how can i get 1?
this is super impressive!!
Thanks!
Hello Bob! Im sorry I'm asking a question on an unrelated video. But this is a bit of a hail mary on my part as im doing a lot of research. Have you ever worked for Namco or on the Pac-Man GBA collection? A bit of a weird thing to bring up but im hoping you're the correct Bob. If youd be willing id really like to contact you via email or whatever social media you use so i can credit everyone properly. Again sorry for coming in unannounced and i hope you have a moment to spare! Many thanks!
Yes, I worked on both Namco Museum and Pac Collection on the GBA. Happy to chat. I'm pretty easy to find on linked-in, so send me a message there.
@@TheRealBobHickman Thanks a ton! I will follow up soon!
Awesome! :-D
Fantastic work Bob!
Saw this link on Mastodon. That’s a pretty cool hack. Nice use of the form factor
What a beautiful display!
I'm a Mech Eng that's been trying to learn more about computers/electronics. Needless to say I still have a lot to learn... This device is really neat though do the micro switches affect what it displays? The logic operators shown are a bit too complicated for me to make out what's going on.
There's a whole bunch of information here - hackaday.io/project/188025-2022-hackaday-supercon-6-badge-guide

It's a 4 bit computer.and the "Display" is the RAM

Probably one of the most memorable songs from 70’s ads. Up there with the Shake & Vac.
We walked past a Lee Longlands shop in Bath Cheltenham yesterday and I sang a bit of the song to my girlfriend, she had never heard it. Luckily I found this on here and was able to sing it to her again but with the music
WOw! thanks for uploading - this ad has stayed in my brain since childhood - and I randomly sing it for no reason
Haha, same for me, which is why I uploaded it in the first place.
40 years on and they are still using that tune on the radio adds :-)
I am here as I’ve just bought a sofa from Lee Longlands yesterday lol
you made your own? thats fuckin sick. good job man
this is still in my head and I never lived anywhere near birmingham
that's pretty cool
Subbed. Only 15 secs on your channel and I found myself rick-rolled... +1 (P.S. Thanks for the idea... I have some similar 4 character displays by HP..)
And now they've gone bumpo.
20th June 2020 - just heard that Coronavirus and 3 months of closure has forced Lee Longlands into administration - I am on a Lee Longlands sofa as I write. Very sad day. Leave it to Lee Longlands xx
Sad news indeed. I wonder if the brand name will be for sale cheap.
Agree a very sad day indeed
Enforced lockdowns killed it, not the bug. Very sad.
I found one of these in my parts bin, would you be willing to share the sketch to control it?
Can I buy this badge ?
I'm not selling mine, but you may be able to find one on tindie. The design is all open source so you could theoretically make your own if you really want one.
@@TheRealBobHickman do you by any chance know where to find Gerber ? I didn't have much of a luck through Google. Thanks a lot!

Hello! Do you have the datasheet for this device? Nice demo btw!

@@TheRealBobHickman Thank you!
Incredibly, after decades I can still recall this advert word for word...yet struggle to remember what beetroot is called.....getting old stinks.
I was in lee longlands today in Abingdon. very nice stuff and very expensive too !
I don't know why but I woke up this morning and this song came into my head! Thought I'd see if I could find it on UA-cam and here I am! Thank you for posting this!
Quick question: Would it be possible to recreate a Namco game you ported before (like Pac-Mania) in Scratch.mit.edu? (And this is pretty good for a badge hack!)
It's possible if you spend the time. I'm not sure about the limitations of Scratch, but as long as it supports sprites and scrolling backgrounds, then it should have everything you need to make it. Note: The original PacMania arcade game uses tiles for the background mazes, but the GBA wasn't fast enough to do that in real-time, so I pre-built the mazes into single images and used hardware scrolling (essentially free) to move them around. Video memory was really tight though, so I had do do some interesting stuff to make sure I could render all the sprites with the correct palettes every frame.
The only thing I'd worry about major things like the background (or stage as the editor calls it) not scrolling, but there's solutions to that. Scratch projects like this (scratch.mit.edu/projects/11818189/) cover it up with tile-like graphics, so that fixes the tile loading problem you mentioned when talking about the GBA version.
You could probably just use tiles like the original. I only did it differently because I needed the extra performance and could leverage the hardware scrolling for free.
NIce!
Brilliant.I fucking love youtube. Childhood memory revived. Didn't realise how shit the song was though,
So Lee Longlands was a shop in Birmingham? If so I would guess they were using this ad in 1979 before the Balls Balls Balls Balls moment of 1.1.80 when ATV lost the franchise and Central split into West and East. Thanks for sharing - I wondered where this earworm had come from!
As I recall, it was on TV in the late 70s and through the early 80s. I used to see it broadcast in Derby. Although the ad I remember said Birmingham, Measham, and Droitwich.
It's funny all the West Midlands ads we used to get - though Tom Coyne rocked. I can still sing a calypso ditty about the Bull Ring Shopping Centre and I even *went* to the toy shop in Leamington Spa once because of its TV advertising!
Measham! that's where "New Dimension" was!
Not "was" a shop, it is a shop it's still there!
Really! You'll be telling me next that Don Amos Caravan World of Shardlow(?) is still going...
They sing "Coordinately" at 0:21.
Does it say "the warden and lee" at 0:21 ?
Brilliant!! my sister used to sing this at me. Well I am called Lee.
