This is the first Demo i ever saw in my life. Back then it was something really unreal and it is really cool even now ! Happy i saw it, it put me on right way in my life. Coders way :)
Anyone here got this on the YS covertape and had to do the crazy de-archiving thing using your own tape? It was worth the wait though, I'd never seen or heard anything like it.
yeah, I spent my childhood hacking this. It was always like... "sons of bitches, what a trick!!" :) Shock has one of the most beautiful ending parts ever. Thanks for nice upload!
@@maxiwamoto7373 remember the speccy had no concept of sprites, this is all coded with just pixels on the screen, but as mentioned not hard. It's not dealing with or worrying about the previously placed balls, just flicking between states. I guess possibly using bank switching (128k only) the screen in.
This was a benchmark ZX Spectrum demo. Everybody had to see it. The guys had an arsenal of coding tricks that left many people dumbfounded.
your demos is also amazing!
Impressive! The guys from Poland did real magic. In 1992!!!
Fk people don't realize how much time went into this. Coding in assembler was absolutely crazy...

Me too. I remember disassembling various chunks of this to get ideas!
respect from ZERO coders at demo scene

Part 2 was "jawdropping" when I saw it for firts time (full screen multicolor with flp)

43:15 for ZX spectrum standards, this tune is really badass. Sounds better than Atari 8-bit. Ziutek is a genius!

3:45 - Now hang on,, the speccy can't do that. 🤯😂
epic!
1000+ moving balls on-screen and no apparent slowdown, anybody?
It's so easy. All screen with balls it's only 4 sprites. For fast he use PUSH in stack on screen.

Part2 is very glitchcore
What is the track playing on the bouncing balls part - I recognize it but can’t put my finger on what it is

@@alexandr_costa wow! incredible info. ziuteks ay version sounds better :)) the idea to pitch slides some of the last notes was epic!
