Eye and ear candy in this ATTR demo from Mat Gubbins.

And unlike the rest of us he was organised enough to be in time for the last update. Here's the SC page.

Cheers Dave for hosting the files, sorting the pictures and making the post. I'm a lazy git...

With a huge thanks to Yerzmyey for the ear candy music!!

Very, very neat! The scrolling text could benefit from more refined timing (the occasional tearing makes it a tad difficult to read), but the main effects look superb! Me likey. :D

Thank you for the comments.
I don't yet understand how to write code to draw the screen at a certain point behind the raster, under the bus and around the corner from the box. I bung stuff on the screen as fast as I can and hope for the best. One day it will click into place.
The colouring of the scrolly message hides a lot of nasty stuff, without the colour makes it worse.

I've made a few code improvements since the upload but nothing spectacular. It's been a fun project that has kept me busy since the start of the year and given me a few ideas for a new game - but that's for another time. Let the good times roll. :D
