It is only a start, and there are definately still some bugs. (You can see the first character in each frame has a problem.) No sound... but I figured I had something to show to get some feedback.

I had an Aquarius when they first come out, and honestly, I don't know a lot about them. But this looks great! What is it?

Hey, that looks great! I'm glad to see you're still stretching the Aquarius in new directions. How big is the ROM?

[chjmartin2]

Just 64K... the 1 Meg ROM is on the way... Been working on it with 64k, and I got this far, so it was time to buy a 1 meg. I need to work on the VSYNC (this is time delay throttled) and I left space in the data-stream for audio. I want to combine my work here with my previous work on 1 bit audio to get video to play at 15 fps with audio, maybe 30 fps, or even 60 - not sure. My converter has several rendering modes, including the character mode, bloxel dither, bloxel undithered, character undithered. It also includes some more ordered dithers. The video is from a shadow dancer video I found on youtube.

Is this a graphics animation or a video stream digitizer?

[chjmartin2]

I know... less impressive... it is just a graphics animation.

[DZ-Jay]

Actually, that's impressive as hell!

Everything that stretches the Aquarius graphics is impressive!

[mvdsteenoven]

That is just awesome! Just like a real figure dancing.
Amazing

Oh my Lord! That is an impressive demo! The fluidity of the animation is quite impressive for the 'lowly' Aquarius!!

I can Hardly wait till we see some Aq. home brews using some of these cool techniques!!!

[Jay Silverheels]

Sorry I missed this. It is typical of your work; it's awesome.
