Today i finally finished my remake of the classic ULM’s Parallax Distorter screen from the Dark Side Of The Spoon demo on Atari STF.
I loved it since the first time I saw it, back in 1991, for me this is the best fullscreen scroller ever done on Atari !
Enjoy !

I’ve run it on an emulator, grabbed the memory, disassembed it, and I STILL can’t work it out.

The third workshop was about the impossible demo aka the parallax distorter, and a libreoffice presentation is available there.
