- Combustion Engine animation--Copyright © 1995 Henry Norman.
-
- This is a 30-frame 2D IFF animation, showing the inner workings of
- a four-stroke internal combustion engine. I made it primarily to
- show my son the principles of how the combustion engine works. To
- view it, use any IFF/ILBM anim capable player (animplayer, DMII,
- MainView (preferred), etc).
-
- When viewed with MainActor's MainView program, the animation runs
- with sound ;). Turn caching on. On my A4000/40, a suitable speed
- is F4, which seems to be about 24 frames/sec (F1 is way too fast).
- I haven't tried it on a slower Amiga, but I'd guess that F1 would
- be fine on a stock 2000. If you don't have MainActor, you really
- should check it out. MainActor1_55.lha is available on aminet, in
- pub/amiga/gfx/edit. Before running the MainView program, enter:
-
- ASSIGN MAS: <volume>:<dir>/Sounds
-
- Where <volume> and <dir> is where you chose to place the Sounds
- directory from this archive.
-
- The engine was handcrafted using DeLuxe Paint IV. The sounds were
- lifted from somewhere, then mangled with SunRize AD512, and finally
- converted to 8SVX (needed by MainView) with PerfectSound.
-
- Freely distributable for your viewing pleasure, but with exception
- of PD collections (including AmiNet CDs, of course), don't include
- the engine with any commercial package without my permission. I'm
- reachable via strix@hotcity.com, strix@cup.portal.com, or at work,
- norman_h*@tandem.com (Tandem NonStop Systems).
-
- Thanks to HotHead and Lumpy at HotCity and Harv Laser at Portal:
- the services you guys provide are great. Let's all hope that the
- fledgling Amiga Technologies manages to finally give the Amiga the
- market share it deserves...
-
- I hope you enjoy the engine!
