NES Demo Coding, Who does it?

Recommended Posts

So, in the same vein as c64 demoscene demos, who among us are into demo coding on NES? or know of some influential demos on the platform showing off what is possible? 

I started working on a visual effect in the same sort of style as the c64. This effect is exploiting palettes, since writing tiles to the screen is very limited on NES.  I am interested in seeing any good examples of other effects you would not normally expect on a NES. If you code or know of any demos, post/link to your work or to any work that you have found. 

Watching the 2007 demo 'aspekt' is definitely what sparked the interest for me in this. 

Attached is a beta of the effect I'm working on, but wish to explore more avenues.

That was super great, Vextrex. That rainbow scroller and stretchy ‘copper’ were really great. I’m curious how effects like that are pulled off. I know there are limited tiles one can update on screen at a time. How do people manage such large animations and not run into those issues?
