project cover

I've always been a fan of the demoscene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene), but I've never had the time, motivation, or skills to actually make my own demo. However, I wanted to use the time given in the PineJam to finally create a demo of my own. Introducing Herobrine, the first (I think) demoscene-style demo for ComputerCraft, using Pine3D for many visual effects.

Herobrine combines a large number (about 15) of cool visual effects into one program, alongside a chiptune track written for the Commodore 64 played back in an emulator, entirely in CC. It demonstrates the power of ComputerCraft as a full-featured programming environment, even with the 16 color character-based terminal and a relatively slow Lua VM.

This demo really shows what CC can do and I love it! So much attention to detail, even in the loading bar. The whole experience as a complete package just feels great to watch, well done!

While it's not interactive, it's a very cool style and very engaging. Lots of variety and I've never seen anything like that in CC before. There were lots of cool things (really liked the heatmap-looking thing) but the 3D parts specifically could've been a bit more involved imo. I liked the tunnel and the plane demo. Audio is :chefskiss:

Jack doing jack things! really cool scene i feel like this could be used as a reason to get people into CC!, sick music sounds really good for computercraft, and ofc you had to make that emulator just for that. You also provided an awesome ton of concepts in the program. like making a working physics engine just for it, which is amazing. My only complaint here would be that the text moving across the screen can sometimes be quite hard to read due to the speed, but otherwise amazing!
