Meanings
-
A short and simple demo.
Fairlight once made a tiny minidemo where you were able to see a lot of extremely tiny rasterbars. They did it by DMA-ing some REUmemory to always the same address i.e. $d020 (background col register) at a specific rasterline (i.e. in the border).
2000, Alex Schuetz, “REU - what software uses one?”, in comp.sys.cbm (Usenet):Hi all! You have available another cool minidemo (or intro, as you prefer), with the usual ASM sources.
1993, Javier Arevalo Baeza, “New intro from VangeliSTeam”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos (Usenet):I promise to enter next time, if you keep the compo like it is now ;-) Or... why not alternating between a minigame compo and a minidemo comp ?
