Some cool stuff I’ve read in the past months.

• Inside the Machine
  Back in October Gigabates posted an exhaustive write-up of the excellent Amiga demo by Desire. Coder porn and thrilling.
• D.O.C. – Demons are Forever
  MnemoTroN/Spreadpoint disassembled, commented and fixed the legendary D.O.C. intro. That one has a special place in my heart; my first Teletext demo starts out with a nod to this classic. “Ignition! Kick down! Let’s do it!”
• How to start writing an actual demo in <400 lines
  I don’t know anything of contemporary Windows demo coding (or any native Windows coding really), so this mini-howto by Gargaj was an insightful read. Also, what a great way to present code blocks in small steps!
• The Most Mario Colors
  The good kind of nerdy deep-dive that makes my own rabbithole explorations of Greek charsets or system fonts feel less obsessive…
• The first perfect computer
  An ode to the Amiga 1000 and a restauration odyssey at the same time. Amazing what kinds of modern add-ons you can get for that machine!
• The Coolest Amiga Setup
  A new datagubbe.se article, admiring the setup of the Amiga 1200 that serves as the main compo machine at the GERP demoparty. Really makes me want to do more stuff on the real hardware, not just testing!
