Hamazing by Desire

This is the source code of Hamazing and PLatOS demo framework.

There is a technical backgrounds write-up if you want to get some insights.

Building

It's supposed to build on a Windows machine (sorry). Some of the stuff was originally part of Axis' Planet Rocklobster framework and that may show in structure and some of the tools used.

Go into the source/hamazing directory and type build.bat.

Each part can be run as a standalone executable for testing by entering the part's source directory and running assemble.bat.

Note that you need to supply Kickstart roms for WinUAE in the source/winuae/Roms directory. AROS rom replacement may work, but your milage may vary. It doesn't run the trackmo for unknown reasons.

Make your own demos!

You can use the framework to make your own demos or intros. There is documentation inside the source code. Right now, I'm not quite motivated to write more than necessary.

You can look at the effects to see how things are done.

But only lamers will copy code verbatim. Give credits where credits are due.

The PlatOS demo framework (as of Oct '24) has been used in more two winning demos:

• Inside the Machine by Desire
• New Art by AttentionWhore

And now go and have some fun. Use the Blitter, Luke! Make Amiga Great Again!
