I don't want to spam the topic, but here is a new one

Some words about the making of this intro: the graphics was made on my main computer running Yosemite - using Photoshop and Illustrator. The fonts used are custom made fonts, and was assembled and pixelated in photoshop. Image data then was serialized with a custom JS tool, and the prototype was also done in Javascript: http://iparigrafika.hu/bitmap/sintest2.html

You should do a texture mapping one or a spinning cube - look up some of the old tutorials for some hints:

I don't think using quartz composer would go over well. I think it has to be an executable.

Quartz composer could be a dedicated category for a Mac demo comp.

AFAIR 7.09 or 7.16, depending on PAL or NTSC version, but I can't remember which was which.

Interesting toppic.
I thought I could do some scene-stuff too, but I did not manage to get a working environment. Link: index.php

i would love to see some cool-oldshool-2d-stuff on my g4-mini...

The thing about os x is that you can't just make a pure c sdl app. To make a .app file, you need to go through some obj-c "glue." That "glue" is 22k all on its own. The real source file was very small, maybe 1k. I wonder if I learned obj-c I could slim that down a bit. If you guys want to give it a try (I don't see why you would, but still... ), I'll attach the file.

nonsense, if you can't do assembly, just use pure c stuff, even GNU c toolchain

Interesting topic... I am also collecting demoscene-stuff.... I have manly two machines to play with.
LC 68080/16Mhz
PM 6100/66 PPC

Main target would be early scene stuff like Starfield, smooth Scroller, etc.
