Fallas Party’95

Nice story by hgh:

This crappy piece of code was the first real prod for TLOTB… Well, we were starting (aka, no experience, no knowledge and no style).

This was the invtro for the first edition of fallas party (one of the first parties in Spain, and the funniest one!), organized by Bladerunner at Valencia, Spain.

Interesting details about this invtro:

We (me) didn’t have too much experience, so…

  • … we(I) used a X mode graphics library from Themie Gouthas.
  • … the jumping letters flicker like hell
  • … the compiler settings were fixed to 386 code generation (a 286 release was out later)
  • … the bottom graphic was done by me in deluxe paint II… and yes, i’m not a graphician
  • … the sprites for the letters were done by hand in this way:
    • unsigned char Letter_A[widht][height]={0×00,0×01,… blablabla..,0×00};
    • unsigned char Letter_B[widht][height]={0×00,0×01,… blablabla..,0×00};

…

Last words: Please, refer all hates for this prod to hgh@tlotb.org
