Brilliant!

Do we know what QL platform/spec it was run on?

Tried on QPC2 for the fun of it. It runs through the first minute of the demo in a second and then crashes.

Probably on a QL. Demos are always very close to hardware. On the Atari they usually only ran, if not otherwise loaded.

Does not work on QL minerva + GoldCard.

Was is coded for a bare bone QL 128k ? Is it position independent ?

As it is loaded from mdv1_, I think it is a bare 128k QL.

It runs on Qemulator :-)
I'm going to try also on QL.....

...and... yes, it runs on QL + Trumpcard. It does not run with Supergoldcard (probably some settings are needed?).
The final fractal sequence is exaggerately slow. It's slow aso on Qemulator at Goldcard speeed.
Anyway, I've never seen something like this in the QL scene. It's so cool :!:

Hi Folks,

Well worth clicking on the link...

A very great deal of work in 15 minutes of video. In fact 10 demos in one !

Does anyone have a repository of QL demos ?

Steve.

I can only think of that demo and the Nyan cat one! Unless Dilwyn’s fine site has some?
