I've been working on getting some of Hellmood's 256B x86 Memories
demo going on Apple II. A lot of it is possible, though of course
much, much, larger especially things that multiply or divide.

Anyway here's the scrolling checkerboard in 42 bytes if you want to
try it. You can get the code a bit smaller if you're not
particular about the colors.

Nice! Any idea which demoscene site is most popular?

I ported Mona from this site to the Apple II:
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=62917

Cheers,
Nick.

Pouet is the most active.
scene.org is the most complete.
hornet.org used to be the place.

Thanks Peter. It looks like scene.org is in a state of flux.

Pouet seems to have a good system. I should upload my Mona port there.

Are you going to upload yours Vince?

Cheers,
Nick.

For fun, I searched for "Apple II" on scene.org (1 result) and on pouet.net (10 results).

I am not a demo person but I have heard of pouet.net, but I have never heard of the other sites.

I usually upload things I do to pouet and they often end up on demozoo
as well. (My stuff is posted as user "deater" or else as group
"VMW Productions")

I've recently teamed up with a bigger demo production group though and
there might be plans to take some of this stuff and put it into a bigger
production with a demoparty release so getting things posted might not
happen until after that.

I have managed to get some interesting variations of this checkerboard demo
that fit in 32bytes.

I tend to prefer demozoo because of its more recent design (and pouet also has a bit of a "toxic" community sometimes). Also you can edit all entries freely while you can't on pouet.

Demozoo has more stuff for recent parties since they add new entries as soon as they're released, while on pouet the prods are not automatically added..

yes, I'm teaming up with DsR (Desire). Various members have been providing
the music for some of my demos for a while so I guess it makes sense.

It's hilarious having some of the members trying to help out with some
graphics and them all being horrified at how Apple II graphics work.
