[Axe] The Cutting Edge of Axe (an Axe 4k demo program)
« on: June 25, 2013, 06:27:25 am »
Hallaw guys,

To show my faith into Axe, I build a demo program in Axe. :) By "demo", I mean a program that shows what the language can do when pushed to its maximum :D

Well, I'm not saying I pushed Axe to its limit (ask Runer112 for that) but that I tried to write scenes that you don't see everywhere (in Axe at least) :)

The demo is named The Cutting Edge of Axe, is exactly 4088 bytes (not only executable, but also data) and contains 5 stunning scenes :) It's a Noshell program, so you can just run it with Asm(). Quickly press [enter] to go to the next scene. There isn't any command since it's a demo ;D

So, I let you download it (attached, the executable is TCEOAXE.8xp and the source DEMO.8xp), and for those without a TI-8x+, screenshot in spoiler ;D

Spoiler For If you have a TI-8x+, download the demo instead:

Of course, it fully runs at 6 MHz ;)

Enjoy, and as ever, share comments :)

That is really cool, Matrefeytontias, especially the stuff that looked like 3D Pong!

Pimath : nope, it's all pure Axe no ASM excepting around ten CB3D :P (8-bit unsigned right shift, even faster and smaller than Axe's optimized division by 2).

Xeda112358 thanks :) I use to call this effect 3D bouncing balls :P

Wow that is great! I especially love the first part with the zooming stars, which reminds me of Final Fantasy ending animations. Maybe this could be re-used for a port of the Atari 2600 game Solaris?

The rest is great too, I was surprised at how fast the ball part ran.

^This. I think this concept of a depth based demo could be turned into a pretty neat game. :D

Great work! There was a pong competition years ago that would have suited the ball part :).

The flaming cube is great!

Actually the pong part reminds me Shmibs' 2010 Omnimaga contest entry which had 4 games including a 3D pong. However I think the 3D ball was just made of multiple pre-rendered sprites and there was only one at once. http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4479.0;attach=3315

Suggestion : add music to the video. All good demos have music. :D
