Digital Candy - Coding index`s - Information
--------------------------------------------
This file contains index`s and information for both the 'Asm' area`s and
the C area`s of the CD. You may wish to browse through this file find items
of interest before scanning all the directories and files.. After all this
would take a long time since there`s around 50 megabytes and around 5,000
files...(!)

Assembly Language (Source-codes)
Index with brief descriptions
--
-[ Asm/Demos ]---------------------------------------------------------------
The below routines are primarly concerned with producing demo`s, some nice
effects are present, some could be used in games too but most are best suited
to demo creation. Note not all demo`s will work on all machines, particularly
aga ones that are accelerated. usually its the 'startup' code, i.e the os
shutdown/restore routines or they don`t blitwait correctly, or use bad
timing loops. If no demo`s work (i.e they don`t do anything) then you need
to install the 'exsys.library' in your libs: directory. This is a 'os
shutdown' library which should help with compatibility. Quite a few demo`s
have been fixed to work, but not all of them as its a very time consuming
task..
3DStars_Type1 : 3D Starfield routine, joystick controlled

-[ Asm/Games ]---------------------------------------------------------------
The below routines are primarly concerned with producing games, they include
some very good advanced examples of reading keyboard and joysticks/pads in
safest possible way. Also 8-ways scrolling is shown which is a must for some
types of arcade games.

-[ Asm/Misc ]----------------------------------------------------------------

task communication in a multitasking environment, useful to relay information
from other running tasks between multiple programs.

that this version is not very stable on aga amiga`s with accelerator cards
and is not written with very system friendly code so perhaps YOU can write
the ultimate protracker based on the sources? Also included are many
different optimised protracker replayers for your games and demos.

-[ Asm/Pack/ ]---------------------------------------------------------------
Lots of different compression algorithm implementations and packing utilities
are contained in this section, some have very good compression ratio`s others
are fast at decompression, the choice is yours depending on your needs. Some
good ones here for all sorts of purposes, also included is use of xpk master
library for extended compression ability using sub-libraries.

-[ Asm/Utils ]---------------------------------------------------------------
Some general purposes tools, like the 'IFFMaster Pro' utility which is a
full blown (and very good) AGA iff conversion tool with full source-code
in the archive. Most utilites are written using the OS hence you may need
to own a set of operating system include files or try to use the OS3_GST.I
file as described elsewhere. Again like with C the native developers kit
is recommended for OS utility writing but with assembly its not as
'essential' as in C.. you may get away with using the 'os3_gst.i' file..

The C Language (Source-codes)
Index with brief descriptions

-[ AmiExpress ]--------------------------------------------------------------
Ami-Express BBS has been the 'de facto' standard for BBS`s running Amiga
`scene' related boards. The software may not be the most feature packed but
it is well liked for its ease of use for the user interface - it is most
definately is not the best written but has some good ideas and is a good
base to learn about BBS systems for those who are interested. Thousands
of doors exist for /X bbs and quite a few are included here...
The full working source-code to Ami-Express v3.x BBS is given here along with
a multitude of Ami-Express specific BBS doors. The version of /X given here
is not the PD released version 3.xxbeta but an update based on it and is more
like Ami-Express version 4 than 3 - see revision docs to know differences.
Express is currently setup to compile using SAS/C. Changes may be needed for
other c compilers. Contained here is almost everything related to /X that
you could ever need.. Ever wanted to write your own version of /X? nows your

-[ C General ]---------------------------------------------------------------
Some general purpose code, we have tried to include all the C compilers with
full source-code as possible in an attempt to help you get a decent working
C compiler (or possibly update and develop your own). The best pd compiler
is without doubt GCC - This is included (despite being accessible on the
Aminet collections) for completeness. Please note however that GCC is very
resource-intensive - We would certainly recommend SAS/C since most sources
will compile without problems with Lattice , it is fully ansi complient and
is probably the best (currently) Amiga commerical c compiler. IF you intend
to develop seriously in C you will need a pretty decent amiga, with at least
around 6 meg+ and HD, with 16 megabytes and gigabyte hard-disk being most
definately recommended for anything `serious'. BEFORE being able to compile
-anything- you will most certainly need the 'include' files. Contact Amiga
Technologies and get the native amiga developers kit or buy a commercial
c compiler to get them. If you get the native kit it should only cost around
20 pounds and contains a lot of very useful source-code and reference
materials.
