AMOS DEMO (Python remake) 1.0.0

A Python remake of the infamous AMOS Demo Disk created prior to the official release of AMOS Basic for the Amiga computer

The Amos demo disc

In 1990, prior to the launch of AMOS Basic on the Amiga computer, a series of ads were published in the UK press (including the issue 06 of Amiga Format, page 69).

One of these ads was a coupon to be sent to Mandarin Software in exchange of a preview & demo disc of the Amos Basic. On the disc was a technical demo of both the Amiga computer and the AMOS Basic capabilities, demonstrating scrolling, sprites, bobs and soundtracker music. The demo was written by Peter Hickman, the music composed by Allister Brimble (also known for his huge contribution to the video game culture).

This is a reimplementation of this demo, in Python 3 using the graphic framework HARFANG 3D.
