Cables Tennis

Ping-pong, ping-pong, ping-pong, ping, DEMO 🏓


~ PITCH ~

For our production at this year's MountainBytes, we managed to only get together one week before the deadline. We spent the five days nights engaging in "Cables Tennis": iterating on a bunch of patches, agreeing on a system so that we don't overwrite each other's work, as can easily happen at the midnight hour.

You can read more about our madly rushed efforts ingenious process in seism's blog

Or just find the results at Honig Senf Panne - Cables.gl

Demos with Emoji

A glitch in Wuhu made us wonder ...


~ PITCH ~

How many demos are out there that are based on Emoji? 🧨 Not just ones that have an Emoji in the title, where the actual demo content or effect is made with the uniquitous pictograms? 🎁 We have the creator of one such demo at MountainBytes this year, 12days, which can be seen below and you can download the prod on Demozoo (along with source code in the ZIP file).

🎳 A list has been started to compile some findings: Emoji demos (Pouet) - scroll down for some examples.

Emoji: Any of the standardized emoticons used in Japanese text messaging. (Wordnik via DuckDuckGo)

🎾 To further inspire you to make an Emoji-demo:

👨‍💻 Demosceners favorite Emoji? (screenshot from Slack)

One Emoji to rule them all, and in the Mountains bind them:

🫕

Borrowed from Japanese 絵文字 (emoji), from 絵 (e, “picture”) + 文字 (moji, “character”). The apparent connection to emotion and emoticon is coincidental. (Wiktionary)

🥁 Here are a couple of notable demoscene examples:

Build Status

TIC-80 TIC-80 TINY COMPUTER - https://tic80.com

TIC-80 is a free and open source fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games. With TIC-80 you get built-in tools for development: code, sprites, maps, sound editors and the command line, which is enough to create a mini retro game. Games are packaged into a cartridge file, which can be easily distributed. TIC-80 works on all popular platforms. This means your cartridge can be played in any device. To make a retro styled game, the whole process of creation and execution takes place under some technical limitations: 240x136 pixel display, 16 color palette, 256 8x8 color sprites, 4 channel sound, etc.

Hydra

All Contributors hydra

Set of tools for livecoding networked visuals. Inspired by analog modular synthesizers, these tools are an exploration into using streaming over the web for routing video sources and outputs in realtime.

Hydra uses multiple framebuffers to allow dynamically mixing, compositing, and collaborating between connected browser-visual-streams. Coordinate and color transforms can be applied to each output via chained functions.

Note: experimental/in development. Right now only works on Chrome or Chromium, on machines with WebGL. I welcome pull requests as well as comments, ideas, and bugs in the issues section =]
