Here comes a Codef remake of the DNA-Demo by The Carebears (TCB), released in the Cuddly Demos (Atari STF) on July 2nd 1989.
The DNA-Demo is one of the many screens of the Cuddly Demos. Its scrolltext, signed by The Carebears “from The Union”, opens with a short history of the ST scrollers: “Once upon a time TEX wrote their BIG demo. Then SYNC put two one-bit-plane-scrollers upon each other. A few weeks later Omega released their demo. Then there was our screen in the Swedish New Year Demo. And now, The Carebears are proud to present the ultimate headache creator.”
The screen has three scrollers, and the star is the twisting one: “everybody has seen byte-benders, but hopefully noone has ever seen a 4bit DNA-scroller (at least not on an ST)”. The coder also answers in advance those who would think the idea came from “a certain English crew who think they are the best”: he started the screen on February 25th and finished it five days later, four months before the release of the Cuddly Demos.
