AlphaPixel Software successfully recovered Eric Graham's 1987 Amiga Juggler raytracer source code from an obsolete Amiga ADF disk image. The Juggler animation amazed Commodore engineers who couldn't believe it ran on an Amiga. This preservation effort addresses the practical problem of accessing vintage software trapped in legacy formats.

The team found the disk on archive.org and developed a Python ADF extraction tool after discovering the original C version wasn't easily accessible. The recovered files include the core raytracer source, scene descriptions, and animation data. ADF extraction proved challenging as most modern tools can't parse this Amiga-specific format.

The recovered repository contains the original C source files (rt1.c, rt2.c, rt3.c), a BASIC version, and scene files for robot, dragon, and elephant models. With permission from Graham, the code is now public domain with attribution. The project demonstrates how specialized tools are required to preserve computing history.
