Amiga demos in DHTML

Ray Norrish · 10 May 2005, 22:49

Check this out:

Famous demos, and awesome coding

Check out this project of mine, which I had started about 1 year ago, and now there's a good pile of demos working.

It's those demos you grew up with and admired, but this time - presented via DHTML and your browser (IE only).

Have a look at the development site, which will shortly be upgraded quite nicely to look like a proper amiga desktop, and relive those old, golden days.. and remember, its all coded in DHTML!!

Please feel free to make requests for your favourite intro/demo to be converted and added to the growing list!

edit: - oh yea, u will need a URL : http://norrish.force9.co.uk/amiga

Ray Norrish · 10 May 2005, 22:54

Nice stuff

Suprised nobody replied to this.

Ray Norrish · 18 June 2005, 01:56

I`ll repost it shortly - got a really nice site update in the pipeline

Impressive. It seems that some parts are done using the "CSS image positioning"-trick (where just parts of a larger image are shown; if you change the parts fast enough, you get a sort of an "animated image"), but some others, like the starfield or the bouncing cube in the "Hardwired Part 1" demo, seem to work different.

Anyway, very nice work. Just the 8bit sound is pretty fucked up (IE6 / WinXP SP 2).

nice one mate, thank you

Ray Norrish · 11 July 2005, 03:00

cheers

Stay tuned, as there's an imminent site update which will be something really special. Also, I`m searching very old intros from 1986 or so if you can help?

Ray Norrish · 18 July 2005, 22:38

Finally.. after loads of tooing and froing, the site is finally ready.
Check out the yesteryear and keep tuned for more items being added!

Really nice ! Another crazy fan site for oldskool lovers. Thanks

I like the possibility to switch to WB 3.x look

Ray Norrish · 18 July 2005, 23:48

thanks to the guy who made the interface for me. He did an awesome job there.
hooray for people like that who offer their services !!

Sorry I only noticed your thread now. Some parts also do work in Opera V7.54

lopos2000 · 19 July 2005, 13:05

Great site. Well done.

Zetr0 · 20 July 2005, 18:17

Awsome, love the look, the feel... just i cant seem to hear it all properly

(( the sound timming seems corrupt in some way ...

if it helps....

CPU: 3200 Barton AMD
AUD: (On Board 6.1 Asus)
RAM:1GB PC3200

XPsp2+IE6+

Imma guessing its prolly somink that needs ot be installed or re-installed..
Win XP is lovely like that

Cool idea though and well re-engineered site

Stig · 20 July 2005, 19:06

Greatest design I've seen in a while, fairly above the average WB-themed site

Did you try the 16bit sound option? The 8bit sound has a poor buffer, so there is definately some lag and also it slows IE down as well

is that a TOWBAR on your bike there ?

Firefox will only let me view the first two demos (boing and juggler), clicking on any of the folders, just shows the same two demos.

IE throws a right wobbler when I try to do anything.. (keeps attempting to download a file called "demo")...

Methanoid · 21 July 2005, 14:31

Great site... works for me but crawls unfortunately... could be the office PCs tho...or MS IE ??

Try enabling both of the HTTP1.1 options in IE?
