The full story
For years Nordischsound pictured a little figure jumping across platforms built live from the melody of their SID tunes, but had no one to code it. In one evening with Claude, it became a real Commodore 64 program in 6502 assembly.
The lead melody becomes platforms whose height follows the pitch, each arriving exactly as its note plays. Jumpman floats across in low gravity, slides lift platforms like lifts, and the other two SID voices flash stars to the rhythm. GoatTracker commands mark which voice carries the lead, so it can switch mid-song.
