devwebcl Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi, Last week I was browsing Holmes CD and I found a Basic Demo that draws an Atari 800 only with drawto and a television, in the TV it writes the name of the authors and some address. I guess is from an European Club from the 80s, but I cant remember the name of the file (I think is from e-magazine section). Anybody could help me to find the name of that demo. Cheers, --devwebcl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 From a German club but I'm almost sure it's a hack... There are different versions of this demo but the original is probably from the US. -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.atarimania.com Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I'm not even sure it has a proper name, it's just called Atari 800 Demo... Do you want the original BASIC file? -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLOR 1 COLOR 2 COLOR 10 COLOR 14 COLOR 7 COLOR 9 the XIO 1,6,0 "S:" it was used to fill a polygon in graphic mode? what are the resolution of GR.8 and GR.0 ? thanks in advance. --devwebcl pd: I used to know most of this information, but in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Gr.8 is 320x200 Gr.0 is really a charmode of graphics 8 - 8x8 cells for characters, so technically I guess it is 320x200 as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 small remake of atari 800 demo, still it has a small bug when is plotting the chart. but the source code is included if anyone wants to fix it. (besides the colors are diferentes because sitll I dont know which are the correct one.(see post above). the idea of making this applet is to publish it in my webpage. --devwebcl a800demo.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 So you remade it into a java applet? Cool, my first inclination after downloading the basic program was to change the listing and change "Education", "Entertainment" into dirty words and seeing how that looked on my computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 SOmeone did make a 'dirty' version of that demo - if interested Ill dig it up - I was surprised to see it going through Holmes stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 ok. let's see that dirty version and I'll try to convert it to applet too. if you see the code I tried to make as similar I could. --devwebcl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbaeza Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 ok. let's see that dirty version and I'll try to convert it to applet too.if you see the code I tried to make as similar I could. Hi This is the Atari Dealer Demo from 1980, both the original and the altered version (with naughty/dirty/sexy text). If you're talking about this demo, then you're wrong. This is not the demo that devweb has ported to Java. Regards PS: You need to use the Atari800WinPLus "FileLoad Executable Alt+X" menu option to load these demos, and they don't run under OS-B.[/b] add.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devwebcl Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 well, you can see the demo in the following url: http://www.devweb.cl/atari/a800demo.htm devwebcl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devwebcl Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 it's there and I just tested it and it works. probably it's my webhosting and you don't get the applet (timeout). well, still you can download the zip file (actually it's the very same, only if you dont want to download an uncompress ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Has worked for me since he posted it Sounds like your Java installations may be a little buggy or maybe slow computers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devwebcl Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Just now. still it has a small bug when is plotting the chart.
