- SANITY
- -------
- - News from Sanity by Chaos/Sanity, approved by Mr. Pet, McDeal
-
- ARTE.
- -----
-
- I (Chaos) and Mr. Pet might have some problems with design, and I
- think there is much to improve, even if we have improved much since
- our last demo, World of Commodore. But there is another field where we
- have severe problems: Demo psychology. Due to deadline problems (We
- finished ARTE ten minutes before the original deadline) and
- carelessness we didn't thought that many people might reset if they
- see a picture saying "this is PRACTICALLY the end", and not noticing
- that it is only PRACTICALLY the end, and that there is one third of
- the demo still to come. And therefore most of the people simply
- didn't notice that they just missed perhaps one of the fastest and
- best realtime vector routines ever (in the eyes of a coder. Other demo
- freaks might not care about a routine being realtime, rotating in
- all 3 axes, etc...) in an amiga demo (done by Chaos and McDeal).
-
- In other words: We messed it up again, many people, including the
- party organizers reseted after the second part and didn't noticed that
- there is a third one to come.
-
- The main reason to write this article is to make everybody know that
- there is this third part, and that you should watch it!
-
- But if we are spreading this article, I use the opportunity to write
- some more stuff about ARTE and my future plans.
-
- I want to start with the usual arrogant, selfcentered "spardimerda"
- stuff, about us and ARTE being the best and why...
-
- We tried very hard to make ARTE as compatible as possible. We
- actually found only 2 Computers at the party place where ARTE crashes,
- both of them being highly upgraded A3000. I am trying to find the
- problems, most likely to be found in the Sanity Operating System, so I
- would be pleased if you write to me if you encounter any problems
- (with detailed hardware specification) so that we can code a bugfix
- and to make sure that future demos work.
-
- The main problem is, that we try to pull the last out of the machine.
- It is easy to make a demo run on a 2MB A1200 68020, or on a 1MB A500,
- supporting only special memory expansions, or even only $c00000-Memory
- (like some coders do...), but we tried to make it run on ALL Amigas,
- with ALL CPUs, with enabled caches, with ALL possible memory
- configurations. All code is relocateable, it will be loaded to real
- fast memory if possible. You can see this best at the vector routine:
- It gets faster with real fast mem even on an A2000, and it's fast as
- lightning on 68030/40.
-
- Another thing we are fucking proud of is the size of ARTE: We
- crunched 3 modules, many, many effects and dozens of pictures and clip
- art on one disk. We need only about 1.6 kb of crunched data for each
- second of demo. The most asked question at the party was "only one
- disk?", although they have only seen 2/3 of the demo. Perhaps this is
- what distinguishes realtime demos from animations.
-
- After all this "Oh we are so proud of this" stuff now some info we are
- less proud of:
-
- Broken Promises is canceled!
- -----------------------------
-
- More then 2 years ago, shortly after Elysium was finished and I had
- enough rest, I coded a few routines (that haven't been released yet)
- that have been totally stunning at that point of time, and that are
- still very good. I had the Idea of making BP, and I planned to
- release it at The Party I (!). BP was not as much related to special
- effects, it was more related to the concept of interaction: Most of
- the effects can be interactively altered, they run in a (non
- intuition) Window, Gadgets make it possible to alter resolution, size,
- details. Effect and Modules from other demos can be loaded (most of
- the effects in the first part of "World of Commodore" support this
- feature, ofcourse without window and interaction. ARTE effects are
- incompatible since they use a slightly different protocol, but I guess
- I would have make them run with a few "special case treatments")
-
- But there were two problems:
-
- I spend too much time to make the graphical user environment, the so
- called "Inyerface" run on an A500. It lead me to some very complex
- copperlists that were dynamically created, especially because it
- should not only work, it should also be good-looking. A lot of paper
- was filled, and I have to apologize to HaVoK who filled disks with
- test, design and graphics for BP.
-
- But the most severe problem was that I didn't actually worked on BP.
- We were never able to plan our projects well. First I started coding
- a music disk for Jester, no problem, two month of work I thought, and
- it took me more then twice as long till I got the last graphics and
- code to work together. Now I had invented the copper-zoom (102-zoom)
- for more then 16 pixels, but I used it only in the menu, so I had to
- code a demo that pulls the effect to it's limit, the "Optimum Fuckup".
- This took much longer then I expected too, especially since Jester
- said to me that he made a new music shortly after I finished all the
- design and timing for the old one (Breakout Remix). After all, the
- demo was less successful then expected, but in some kind more
- successful then all other demos because it impressed some guys at
- NEON enough to ask me if I could code some zoom-routines for their
- coming project, Mr. Nutz. So one project followed the other: WoC
- (which did not cost too many time), parts of three games, Mr. Nutz
- among them, ARTE (which was meant as a small intro and then took half
- a year for me and more for Mr. Pet), and other small things. Beside
- being a coder, I finished FOS (school), civil service and some
- semesters of technical computer science. In other words: I coded on
- BP only "occasional".
-
- All the time BP blocked me that much that I said to some friends:
- "Either it will be released at The Party III, or it will never be
- released". At The Party III I even broke that promise, but now, with
- my thought sorted, I think I made the right decision: Cancel and
- concentrate on Demos instead of myths. There simply isn't enough time
- and motivation left to create something that complex.
-
- But it was a great experience. A few interviews and rumors, and they
- actually bought it: I think I am the only coder that became #1 in the
- Eurocharts without actually releasing anything for more then 6 months!
- Broken Promises entered the Charts without being released, without
- even been coded! Some guys claimed that they have made "screen shots"
- of it and were mighty proud releasing a badly digitised nothing (All
- they got was an ARTE-Preview by Mr. Pet).
-
- The best of all: would you believe a rumor about something called
- "Broken Promises?". This shows how far you can go!
-
- Compatibility in general
- ------------------------
-
- Perhaps this is the point to write some words about the compatibility
- discussion that is held in some diskmags and networks: Writing
- trackmos has no disadvantages towards making "system friendly" demos,
- even with compatibility in mind! (Except for harddisk installation)
- Commodore officially tries to supports "Original Chip Set" as long as
- possible, at least for triple-A. In other words: Read the Amiga
- Hardware Reference Manual, and hit the Hardware as you like as long as
- you follow a few rules that are outlined there. But NEVER rely on
- special configurations (memory, CPU), kill the system carefully or
- allocate the resources and let the system run on the background, DON'T
- use absolute addresses and test as much as you can. Commodore won't
- support ECS or AGA features in AAA, so if you want to use them, you
- can be sure that your demo will not run on future Amigas.
-
- Therefore there is NO SUCH THING as a compatible AGA-Demo. My
- solution in the future will be to write either AGA-only demos that
- don't give a damn on triple-A, but where EACH effect would be useless
- on non-AGA anyway, or to write mixed demos where the AGA-effects are
- skipped on non-AGA-Amigas and have two copperlist (one AGA, one non
- AGA) for some effects. These demos should run kinda downgraded on
- AAA, but at least they run. Please notice: There are computers
- without AGA, but with fast CPU, therefore you can make a great
- A1200-Demo without using the AGA-features, and you will get many
- friends among the turboboard and A3000 users. I will support the A500
- in future, even though I might also release a pure AGA-demo.
-
- Ofcourse it is BRAINDEAD to make utilities with hardware-code like the
- good old KefCon and most Trackers. If you are going to make a
- utility, please try to do it using the OS. Protracker is the best
- (or better, worst) example. At the beginning there was NO working
- protracker on the A4000, and even now I have some problems. If you
- are coding screens, gadgets, mouse and all this by yourself, you have
- much more work as if you would try to learn the basics of Intuition.
- Invest your time in doing it right with OS instead of patching around.
- It is very frustrating to see the Protracker with Hires or Superhires
- sprites, to get crashes when the ScreenBlanker activates themself and
