Invitation to Alchimie 6

Post by mmu_man »

I wanted to do a small invitation to Alchimie.
I started writing some code, not sure I'll finish it in time.

Just a single effect for now.

So, wrote some more, it's now almost watchable :)
Same place:

I'll have to take lessons for music though.

That's nice :)
It could be even better with a 'star trek' style character set :)

Yes but I suck at graphics :)
I planned to write a tool to convert TTF to acceptable font for us (simply write "abcd..." to an (N*8)x8 bitmap and convert it to C/asm) and use that for the matrix code.

The source code:

With some sound as bonus but I'm not even sure the notes are correct.

You can also do a 'futurist' font the way I did it in Cyclotron:
http://pouet.scene.org/prod.php?which=24254

The idea is just to force to '0' the pixels of the second line of each character :D

Something like this:

Code: Select all

FOR I=32 TO 127
   POKE #B400+I*8+1,0
NEXT I

Yeah there are similar other tricks like oring everything with itself shifted to get a bold font...
Anyway, I have 2 conferences to prepare for Alchimie, and the LUnix port to finish (disk I/O), and/or SEJORIC (Sedoric for Jasmin), so I'll likely finish that later.

Here is the latest version, as presented at Alchimie.
The 32x24 @1bpp video frames come from my own webcam after some downsizing (but are randomized from a pool of 8 ).
