- Okay here comes the least important part ?-)
-
-
- PentagramPlayer is created using:
- Amiga 1200 (towercase)+Blizzard IV (030/50MHz+FPU+8MB fast memory)
- OS 3.1, 1.2GB harddrive, Microvitec monitor and other normal stuff.
-
- The technical details&(dis)features:
-
- -written fully on BlitzBasic V2.1 (don't be shocked!)
- -multitasks very good (atleast with Executive ;) everybody should have it!)
- -works in own intuition-screen (which is, ofcourse, freely selectable :)
- -designed to run screen of size 640*400 <---NOTICE!
- -4 colors on screen, you might think this is "no-good", but it saves lot of chip memory!
- -uses only 64KB chip memory (+MODsize), but needs 1.1MB other mem (which is hopefully fastmem)
- -requires OS2.0 (only because ASL.library and screenmodes, I think)
- -current version has 50 different effect-screens
- -can play _only_ standard unpacked protracker MOD-files :(
- -(un)nice (new)icons, so if you don't have newicons installed you only see squares, sorry!
- -cool screentab-image!
- -no animals were used testing this software ;-)
- -works very good with techno-music and especially "jungle"-style music
- -works very bad with melodic songs :(
- -no PC's were used on creating this awesome player =:-)
- -mouseblanking (optional)
- -other small stuff
-
- How the effects are controlled? Easily, when sample is played from channel 0 (volume>0)
- then PPlayer changes to next screen, channels 1,2 and 3 launches color effects on
- current picture. It's so simple...
