General software. From trouble with the Banyan Tree to OCP Art Studio, post any general software chat here. Could include game challenges...

ZX Spectrum Firework demos

Post by yogyog »

Hello there.

Are there any Spectrum demos with firework sections in them? I'd have thought it'd be a good way to show your ability to get multiple dots moving at once, but I can't find any good examples.

Not really a demo but a game... But do you mean something like this:
(click play to see the effect, not the whole game)

A nice firework display at the end of Pyjamarama.

The effect in Penetrator is quite good, all the more so given its a very early game too.

I think there was a topic either here or WOS actually with a disassembly of that routine at some point.

Maybe one of these might be useful.

Thanks for your help, guys.

Maybe I should have made it clearer what I wanted them for.... basically the end credits of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrqIhcGNZQo

I'm going for a 80's soviet animation aesthetic, so I thought putting the credits on a ZX Spectrum would fit into that. (though really I should have used a soviet clone of the ZX Spectrum in the end credits - it's just - I found a 3D model of the ZX but not one of any soviet clones.

I actually made the fireworks in Blender, but I hope they look like something that COULD be done on a ZX Spectrum.

Next question - I'm looking for something where I can type in some text and have the ZX Spectrum turn it into a showy fullscreen scrolltext. Like you find on a ZX Spectrum demo.
