Hey,

Now that I'm watching more C64 stuff on YouTube again, the YouTube algorithm is feeding me more demo and programming videos for retro machines in my timeline.

Now I came across this inconspicuous demo video. And thankfully, there was also a really detailed and well-made explanatory video from the creator of the demo. 
Be sure to check it out! 
What he has put together is nothing short of amazing!

It is precisely because of the limitations of older 8-bit computers, and the constant discovery of ways to achieve the impossible, that I prefer C64 demos and demos from other 8-bit machines over Amiga or PC demos.
