• Muisc from AAlib: BB demo

    From Futurefail to All on Thursday, April 01, 2021 01:34:32
    Hi

    First off, this is a more general music question. I was wondering if any of you are familiar with the demo named 'BB' that came packaged with AAlib (a program that transformas images and video to ASCII).

    Link to demo on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLlDt_4EGX4

    I really like the music in the demo and I searched to see if there are any other modules made by the artist - Filip Kupsa (FK, Tingle Notions, Dawn Music).

    I searched through 'modarchive.org' and found no relevant results. The original websites linked in the demo were not available.

    I would like to know if he has made any more music and where to find more of it.

    Thanks for reading.

    I'm not familiar. What platform does AAlib run on? PC? Mac? Amiga?

    As far as I know it runs on PCs (linux, DOS, maybe mac).

    Here is a link to their sourceforge page: http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/ ...And the BB demo page: http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/bb/bb.html

    I think it was developed primarily for linux, but it should run on DOS (not sure about windows). Their source code is open and anyone could probably compile it for their system (and even port it to a new platform with some modifications to the code).

    I got it from my distro's repository. Maybe it's possible to use homebrew on mac, and modern windows i have no idea.

    I'll have to look into this. Thanks for the heads up.

    I imagine that it runs on DOS via some GNU library for DOS like DJGPP?
