I had five productions (one of them a collaboration) this time around at @Party, the Boston-area demoparty.<\/a><\/p>\n

Browser demo:<\/b> “More Tongue.” This was, well, not really a standard demo, even for a browser demo, that generates nonsense poems with compact code. Like everything at demoparties, it’s been released, but I’m going to work on a post-party version, so I’m leaving the party version out of this list.<\/p>\n

Wild:<\/b> “Shortcat.”<\/p>\n

Shortcat is a very simple encoding scheme to make bytes (thus computer programs) into pleasing Unicode tweets, IMs, etc. #demoscene<\/p>\n

Encoder: cat x.prg | perl -pe 'binmode STDOUT,\":utf8\";tr\/\\x00-\\xff\/\\x{2500}-\\x{25ff}\/;' > x.txt<\/code> #demoscene<\/p>\n

Decoder: cat x.txt | perl -pe 's\/[\\x00-\\x7f]\/\/g;s\/\\xe2(.)(.)[^\\xe2]\\*\/chr((ord($1)-148)\\*64+ord($2)-128)\/eg;' > x.prg<\/code> #demoscene<\/p>\n

To decode, copy the Shortcat string to a new text file, save it, decode. ASCII (incl. spaces & newlines) will be ignored #demoscene<\/p>\n

When decoding, don’t include other Unicode besides the Shortcat string in your selection #demoscene<\/p>\n

Add a hashtag (e.g., #c64) and\/or other info (e.g., SYS4096) to help people run the program. That’s it. Nanointros everywhere! #demoscene<\/p>\n

Check this Tweet for an example.<\/a><\/p>\n

Executable music:<\/b> “Dial Up” by devourant & nom de nom.<\/p>\n

((((t\\*2^12018^t>>16)&42)\\*(t^12)&t>>5)>>3|t\\*9&(t&4^42)>>5)-1<\/p>\n

Play it in an HTML5 player.<\/a><\/p>\n

Intro:<\/b> “Chronon,” a 32-byte Commodore 64 program.<\/p>\n

PRG file.<\/a> Source.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"PET<\/p>\n

Demo:<\/b> “PET Code,” a 128-byte Commodore 64 program that is a demake of J\u00f6rg Piringer’s “Unicode.”<\/a><\/p>\n

PRG file, demo version (runs once & ends).<\/a> PRG file, looping version.<\/a> Source.<\/a><\/p>\n
