Yes, this isn't the original source code that produced the animation. It is verbatim the source code that was printed in the May 1987 Amiga World article, which was available as a floppy disk through post at the time. An ADF of the floppy first became available on the internet in 2014 through dottyflowers on English Amiga Board. It contains none of the animation code, none of the poses, none of the HAM, none of the blending, quanitzation, etc.
As an aside, I've spent the last 6 months recreating the original on classic hardware. Blogpost and binary in the works.
edit: no idea why this comment was flagged to deadness. 1 karma I suppose.
