- pimlottc 2y agoI thought this was going to be 2000+ demos running /at the same time/, it's actually a collection of browser-runnable demos.
- 112233 2y agoreal nice! As expected, puls by rrrola barely crawls on the dos emulator (raymarching parametric surfaces in 256b, what do i expext) What about those demos that play MIDI?
- parkertomatoes 2y agoThanks! Interestingly, I can hear noise (not music) on localhost, but not on GitHub pages. Maybe Chrome has a remote host restriction? https://parkertomatoes.github.io/demo-parade/?which=94376 https://parkertomatoes.github.io/demo-parade/?which=94376
- oniony 2y agoIf anyone else, like me, had no idea what this is even about then I found https://www.pouet.net/faq.php https://www.pouet.net/faq.php. So it seems it's a bunch of demos from the 90s (or written for 90s hardware) running on emulators in the browser. I used to have an Amiga back then, and I remember the demo scene. They basically wrote programs that would push the limits of the hardware to demonstrate what is possible. Some of them were quite mind-blowing as they would seemingly do stuff that you would know, from playing games, was not possible.
- 112233 2y agoWhat do you mean 90s! Here's one this year's winning 32 byte demo from rrrola: https://parkertomatoes.github.io/demo-parade/?which=96021 https://parkertomatoes.github.io/demo-parade/?which=96021 Here's one this year's winning 256 byte demo being presented: https://youtu.be/2p5HCTUNgfU?t=535 https://youtu.be/2p5HCTUNgfU?t=535 Basically, once it is 256 bytes or less, DOS is one of the few options you have left, everything else would need more than that in headers/symbols.
