ORIGINALLY THERE WAS NO PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE X DEMO COMPO BUT 45 DAYS BEFORE THE COMPO BOB SAID -X HELL YEEES!! WHERE CRT RESPONDED -FUCK NOOOO!! ..AND A FEW HACKS WAS TURNED INTO A DEMO IN A VERY SHORT TIME. UNFORTUNATELY MOST CENSOR GRAPHICIANS ARE STILL INACTIVE BUT SOME HELP FROM PROWLER/UP ROUGH WAS A WELCOME CONTRIBUTION. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CREDITS FOR THESE NOTES PROJECT: VERTSKROLL CODE: LAVAZZA IMAGE: PROWLER/UP ROUGH MUSIC: MAGNAR TEXT: CRT, BOB, MAGNAR &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& CREDITS FOR WONDERLAND &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& SID MUSIC: MAGNAR SONG 1: WONDERLAND - WHIPEME SONG 2: WONDERLAND - SMELLSLIKECENSOR SONG 3: WONDERLAND - DOMINOFOREVER SONG 4: WONDERLAND - GHOSTORGOBLIN STORY: MAGNAR JOINED CENSOR JUST WHEN THE IDEA OF X PARTICIPATION HAD BEEN MINTED. HE PULLED SEVERAL ALL-NIGHTERSDURING BUSINESS DAYS AND OPTIMIZED HIS SONGS TO FIT MEMORY CONSTRAINTS WITHOUT EVEN COMPLAINING... NOT EVEN A LITTLE. THE SONGS HAD TO BE HEAVILY VERSIONS MODIFIED TO FIT TIMING AFTER EACH LINKING AS NEW DEMO PARTS WHERE ADDED, OR AS CODE AND OVERALL DEMO TEMPO CHANGED CONSTANTLY THE LAST FEW WEEKS. BUT THE REAL MUSICAL CHALLENGE CAME ONLY 2 HOURS BEFORE THE COMPO DEADLINE, WHEN A CHANGE DECISION WAS MADE TOSUBMIT THE DEMO ON A OLDC64 INSTEAD OF A NEW C64TO AVOID GREY VIC PIXELSIN A CERTAIN RASTERSPLITDEMO PART. THIS CRITICAL CHANGE MENT THAT ALL SONGS HAD TO BE REMADE FROM ITS ORIGINALLY DESIGN FOR NEW 8580 SID CHIP TO INSTEAD FIT AND BE PLAYED ON OLD 6581SIDS. CHANGES WHERE MADE TO THE SONGS WITHOUT ACTUAL TIME TO REVIEW ALL FILTER CHANGES BEFORE SUBMITTING THE ENTRY TO THE COMPO. ALL SONGS WILL THEREFORE BE RELEASED SEPARATELY IN ORIGINAL 8580 SID FORMAT. AS A COMEBACK STATEMENT, THERE ARE TRACES FROM THE OLD 1990 ERA WITHIN THE SONGS. THE TYPICAL1990ISH-SONG THAT POPPEDIN MIND FOR A SUMMARY OF OUR 18 YEARS IN EXILE WAS NIRVANA'S "SMELLSLIKE TEEN SPIRIT", WHICH SUITABLE IS ALSO PLAYED WHEN THE SCROLLER COMES AND ANNOUNCE WE'RE BACK AFTER 18 YEARS. FURTHER, TO STRENGHTEN A STRONG SYNTH THEME THROUGHOUT THE SECOND PART OF THE DEMO, PET SHOP BOYS "DOMINO DANCING" GAVE A STRONG INFLUENCE AND EMBEDDED INTO THE SID GROOVES. ANOTHER SIDENOTE WOULD BE THAT THE "GHOST AND GOBLIN" INFLUENCED SONG FOR THE FLIP-DISK PART WAS ACTUALLY MADETHROUGH A HEADSET IN THE CHIC AND BASIC HOTELLOBBY IN AMSTERDAM AFTER CHECKOUT AND WAITING ON THE TRAIN TO EINDHOVEN. THIS WHILE THE WHOLE OFFENCE CREW WAS MOVING AROUND US LIKE VULTURES TRYING TO GET A GLIMPSOF WHAT SECRETS WE WHERE WORKING ON. &&&& PARTS &&&& CLEAR SCREEN PROJECT: CLEARSCR CODE: CRT STORY: ONCE THE INTRO WAS DECIDED WE NEEDED SOMETHING TO REMOVE THELETTERS FROM THE SCREEN. THIS WAS A FAST HACK WITH MACROS GENERATING MORE CODE THAN NEEDED BUT IT DID THE TRICK. MAGNAR COMPOSED A SPECIAL TUNE THAT MADETHIS PART WORTH WATCHING EVEN AFTER PULLING ALARGE DIRECTORY LISTING. &&&& INTRO PROJECT: DEFINER TWO CODE: BOB SPRITE OVERLAYS: NIM IMAGE: CONVERTED BY BOB AND FIXED BY NIM TOOLS: BOB AND CRT STORY: BOB STARTED TO GENERATE PATTERNS AND CYCLE COLORS TO CREATE HIS LEGENDARY EFFECTS USING CRT'S PAINTER TOOLS. THIS WAS CHOSEN TO BECOME THE INTRO IT WAS FURTHER SHAPED FROMTHERE. EVEN THE ORIGINAL BOB DEFINER TOOLS WERE USED FOR THE WONDERLAND CAT COLOR FADING.PROWLER DID HIS OWN LOGO IN THE INTRO CREDITS. &&&& FLIPPING SCROLLER PROJECT: FLIPSCROLL CODE AND CHARS: CRT IMAGE: NIM STORY: CRT EXPERIMENTED WITHBITMAP/SPRITE ZOOMERS. A FLIP WITH PERSPECTIVE MADE IT INTO THIS DEMO. &&&& PLASMA PROJECT: PLASMA FOUR CODE: LAVAZZA SPRITES: NIM STORY: LAVAZZA DEVELOPED SEVERAL PLASMAS BUT A COUPLE DID STAND OUT, THE FOURTH ONE ESPECIALLY. BEING A TRAINEE LAVAZZA MADE AN IMPRESSION ON US ALL WITH THIS. &&&& BORDER TWISTER: PROJECT: BOB EXPERIMENT CODE AND SPRITES: BOB IMAGE: PROWLER/UP ROUGH STORY: BOB DISCOVERED CROSSDEVELOPING AND WENT HOME TO 1990 AND COMMANDED: ALL BORDERS TO BE GONE!-SO THEY WENT. BITMAP TO BE PRESENT! -SO IT WAS. SPRITES TO TWIST! -SO THEY OBEYED... &&&& 3D RASTER SPLITS PROJECT: RASTA CODE: CRT STORY: ONE OF CRT'S FIRST HACKS FOR THE DEMO. BEING A FAN OF THE OLD XAKK AND PARAGON RASTERSCROLLERS, CRT WANTED TO TAKE THIS CONCEPT INTO THE NEW SCHOOL DEMO ERA BY ADDING SOME 3D AND 4 CYCLE TIGHT SPLITS.DEATH TO ALL NEW C64 AND C128 RUINING THIS PART COMPLETELY! &&&& DIAGONAL RASTERS PROJECT: DEFINER ONE CODE: BOB TOOLS: CRT STORY: SO IT DIDN'T MAKE INTRO LIKE DEFINER TWO BUT IT DID MAKE A NICE EFFECT MIDWAYS. &&&& CENSOR SCROLLER PROJECT: SQUARES CODE: CRT LAVAZZA OVERLAY GRAPHICS: NIM STORY: UNLIKE DEFINER ONE AND TWO, THIS PART KEPT THE PAINTER AND REAL TIME CODE GENERATOR. 5 BITMAPS WITH CODE ARE GENERATED DURING THE PART UNFORTUNATELYMAKING THE MIDDLE SCREEN A BIT TOO LENGHTY. LAVAZZA PROVIDED A LAVAPLAZZMA EFFECT FOR THE GRID. A PAC MAN, GHOST AND A CANADIAN MAPLE LEAF DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THIS PART. &&&& EYE/BALL/PLANET PROJECT: PLANET CODE: BOB SPRITE OVERLAY: NIM IDEA: BOB MAGNAR TOOLS: CRT STORY: BOB WANTED TO BEAT ALL OLD COLOR CYCLING RECORDS, USE THE FULL SCREEN, 4 ANIMATIONS, CRT PULLED AN ALL-NIGHTER WRITING A CODE GENERATOR IN C++. BOB USED HIS LEGENDARY DESIGNER TOUCH ANDMULE-HEADED STUBBORNNESS AND PULLED OUT A PLANET WITHIN DAYS. &&&& FLIP DISK PROJECT: FLIP DISK CODE: BOB GRAPHICS CONVERTED BY: BOB STORY: IN THE LAST MINUTE SWALLOW DUMPED 250 BLOCKS UN-CRUNCHABLE SAMPLINGS UPON US. FLIP DISK WAS BORN WITHDEFINER CODE USING BOB'S ORIGINAL SECRET CENSOR TOOLS FROM THE EARLY 90'S. &&&& SAMPLING PROJECT: 15.6KHZ 8BIT SAMPLING CODE AND MUSIC: SWALLOW ADDITIONAL CODE: BOB IMAGE: PROWLER/UP ROUGH STORY: BEING THE UNCHALLENGED8-BIT SAMPLING MASTER OF THE C64 FOR MANY YEARS, 18 YEARS AGO! SWALLOW WOULD NOT ACCEPT MAHONEY'S CUBASE64 TO STAND COMPLETELY UNCHALLENGED, THOUGH IMPRESSIVE AND AWESOME. SWALLOW BROUGHT IN THE OSCILLOSCOPE, DID THE CYCLE TIMING AND UPPEDTHE BETS TO 15.6KHZ OVER BAD-LINES IN ONE FAST HACK THAT CAUSED CRT TO PULL HIS GRAY HAIR DUE TO THE TWO DISK SIDE LINKING THE VERY LAST WEEK. &&&& AT LOCATION TESTING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT NIM ADRIAN ALFATECH PASSIVE SUPPORT SENSEI TAITO EUZKERA PSYCHO SLAYGON GEGGIN DRAGON &&&& LINKING AND RASTER FADER CRT &&&& LOADER KRILL/PLUSH -AWESOMENESS!

CENSOR HIGHLIGHTS OF X2012 IN THE LAST MOMENT MAGNAR SPENT 20 MINUTES MAKING AN EXTENDED VERSION OF THE CLEAR SCREEN SONG AND SUBMITTED IT TO THE MUSIC COMPO. HE WASIMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED FOR BEING TOO LATE.LATER IN THE EVENING HIS SONG WAS PLAYED IN THE COMPO AS "SONGS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE COMPO". PEOPLE STILL VOTED AND MAGNAR TOOK 3RD PLACE. NIM WAS VERY BUSY RUNNING AROUND X WITH FLOPPY'S OF THE DEMO TESTING IT ON HARDWARE WHEN NATURE CALLED. STUFFING THE FLOPPY'S UNDER ONE ARM HE HAD BOTH HANDS FREE FOR THE IMPORTANT AIMING BUT THEN HE REACHED FOR THE FLUSH BUTTON.. MINUTES LATER NIM AND CRT WAS DISSECTING FLOPPIES TO DRY THEM ON MAGNARS OVERHEATING LAPTOP (DUE TO A RED WINE ACCIDENT THE DAY BEFORE TRAVELLING). &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& GREETINGS GOES TO SUCCESS+TRC OFFENCE FAIRLIGHT PROSONIX ABNORMAL FLASH CAMELOT OXYRON MAHONEY PADUA ARSENIC HITMEN CREST BOOZE DESIGN PANDA DESIGN PLUSH TRIAD DECADENCE RESOURCE SINGULAR CHROMANCE THE NOISY BUNCH GLANCE LEVEL 64 ARISE HOAXERS GENESIS PROJECT UNICESS RAIDERS ABYSS-CONNECTION METALVOTZE SCOOPEX LEGION DESIGN MEGASTYLE INC.
