This is complete goosebump-o-rama to me: LFT explains a classic C64 tunnel demo effect which is ultra-nerdy and super impressive.
It looks great, it's very clever, it uses known tricks in a new, original way, and it's really well explained. Even mediocre coders like me could implement this after he provides the "aha!"-moment.
If you ever owned a Commodore 64 and coded a little on it, you might enjoy this:

@pixelambacht Are you a mediocre coder? I wouldn't have thought. But Linus is in a category of his own 😅

@pixelambacht Looking forward to watching this. Especially the nice dithering made me think this is some clever compression in space and time of an animation. Looks so good. edit: I couldn't wait. Such a clear explanation about graphic modes and their limitations and how to get around them. Absolute genius.
