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.

Re: ZX Spectrum Firework demos
Penetrator?
Re: ZX Spectrum Firework demos
Not really a demo but a game... But do you mean something like this:
(click play to see the effect, not the whole game)

Re: ZX Spectrum Firework demos
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.
