what are best games and demos to show?

[arnoldemu]

Somebody here at my work used to own a cpc, but they changed to another computer and missed out on demos and the scene.
When I told them some of the things the cpc could do they were suprised..

so which demos and games should I show them?

(other than Orion Prime )

Of course (obligatory) my "Advanced Lawnmowing Simulator"!!!!!!!

I'd say Prodatron's Digital Orgasm is a very nice demo to shopw, specially if you've got a Digiblaster 

[redbox]

Has to be The Demo by Logon System if they didn't see anything.

If that gets their attention then you can show them what a real Amstrad (i.e. the Plus - hahaha!) can do.

Thankyou for the suggestions I will show him these.

Not quite as good as the above, but still not bad, my Giana Sisters Clone :-)

[AMSDOS]

I guess if they've got a thing for Mandelbrots, they should check out my Mandelbrot!

That Giana Sisters clone doesn't seem all that fun to me... doesn't appear to move as I'd expect. The jump seems broken, and the project is not filling me with a massive amount of excitment.

I hope and pray that this is just the videos i'm looking at, and the game actually plays like a Deamon.

First, I liked Markus's post about the lawn-program. So I couldn't resist to post something similar. I do know that my kind of humor does not satisfy all people ;-) So it's your right to beat me up. But ok, I try to provide some kind of sense in my answer...

Well, you can get and play the third WIP version at www.futureos.de (downloads) and find out. A movie is always different, but you really should use a real CPC to play it. Most emu's have problems with the scrolling (JavaCPC does well, if your pc is real quick).

About the jump, originally I had a pyramid like jump, because the official CPC version has it too. Then Tolkin (and later on others) told it would be better to have a sinus like jump. Now, Giana jump upwards sinus like, but I had not time to let her fall also sinus like, so she is falling still in a line shaped form. I'm not doing game developpment as a job, in contrast, I've only very few free time - which I mainly waste in this forum.

However, since you tell that Giana doesn't look like you expect it, please tell me here or elsewhere (offtopic here?) what you would expect. Constructive critics is always welcome.

Anyone feeling like creating a wiki page with in-page demo YT vids?

I'll write it for you. You must have got to here:

Code Select Expand


y_position: defb 0,2,4,7,9,9,10


Now just keep the table going:

Code Select Expand


y_position: defb 0,2,4,7,9,9,10,9,9,7,4,2,0

Thank's Redbox. I know that    As pointed out before I just had no time to encode it that way. It's still a WIP.

However the table look like this: 8,8,8,4,4,4,4,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1 , 1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,4,4,4,4,8,8,8. Or at least it look a bit like that, don't have my source with my 

The first part is delta-y positive (value is added to Y), the second part of the table is delta y minus (value becomes subtracted from Y).


So it the jump is the only critics, I'm lucky.
