An Atari demo for the 8-bit Demo Compo at Silly Venture 2010 in Gdansk.
This fixed version was compiled on 2010-12-09.

System Requirements:
The demo requires an Atari 800 alike computer with PAL GTIA and 64k RAM.
No extended memory is required or used if available.
That was the damn hardest part and I ended up with 43 bytes left.


Demo Compo Rule Compliance:
The demo does not use illegal opcodes and is 65C816 compatible.
It leaves the memory area between $D800-$DFFF untouched during loading.
The total runtime is about 7:35 plus the loading time.


Trivia:
The demo was created between 2010-10-10 and 2010-12-09 using my 
WUDSN IDE. Visit http://www.wudsn.com to learns more about it.
With more than 9000 lines of code, this demo contains more than 4 times
the amount code than Visdom II and still 3 times the amount of code of
my largest demo so far. It was definitely the hardest job I every had
with a demo since my first demo released back in 1989.
The major reason was that I restricted myself to using only 64k.
With more memory most effects, especially the vertical graphics split 
would be rather easy, but I wanted to make this demo run on a stock
machine, so really everybody can see it.
It is also the first time the flow of the demo is completely controlled
by the tune. Without having the tune from the very beginning, it would
never have become what it is - my best demo so far.

Silly Effects Plot:
Silly Blur DYCP with 8 shades, running full screen on 50 FPS.
Silly Logo in 16 shades animated during loading.
Silly Textures morphing and spinning at 50 FPS.
Silly Waves waving and spinning at 50 FPS.
Silly Meter based on the volume of the 4 channels spinning at 50 FPS.
Silly Scroll with 16x8 pixels and 6x8 font, spinning at 50 FPS.
Silly Split vertical hardware graphics split 160x192 pixels at 50 FPS.

The split is used for the following presentation effects:
roller, shutter, wiper, striper, rotator, swinger
