Today I have submitted my entry for the MIX 10K Smart Coding Challenge. I think this competition is so cool and it is very challenging to build something nice in only 10K.
This year I have made an animation that is very much inspired by the demo scene.
Because the Commodore 64 still is my all time favourite computer I have added a funky SID tune ‘Unsophisticated’ by Thomas Manske (Peace). This tune is downloaded on the fly from the Stone Oakvalley’s Authentic SID Collection (SOASC=) where they have converted (almost) all SID tunes ever made to MP3.
To save up Kb’s the characters used in the animation are all in the Webdings font that is pretty much standard on Windows but I don’t know if it will also work on Mac OS. Please let me know if not!
Coparck frontman Odilo Girod has a solo project called Chop Wood. His debut album was recorded in Berlin in 10 days as part of the in a cabin with project. Chop Wood’s debut is beautiful and the best thing is that you can download it for free!
The 8bit Philosophy is a very interesting and entertaining documentary about C64 musicians and remixers and you can download it here.
As you can you see and hear the 25 year old Commodore 64 holds perfectly stand against all the next-gen game consoles. You can even play Guitar Hero on the C64 with Shredz64
The Pacemaker DJ mixer is so cool! Mix your mp3′s while you are on the road and put them on the – maybe even cooler – pacemaker website. I have to add this device to my wannahave-list!
