GREETINGS! WELL, I BET IT'S A RELIEF TO FIND THAT ALL THAT TIME LOADING THIS DEMO WASN'T IN VAIN! THIS IS THE DEMOFX MODULE COMPRISING A SCROLLTEXT f1(WHICH CAN DO FLASH FONTS AS WELL)f0, A SCREEN FADER x0 AND A PARALLAX SCROLLING STARFIELD.x9 THE STARFIELD IS MY FAVOURITE PART. YOU SEE,x2 I CAN MAKE IT GO INx3 ALMOST ANY x4DIRECTION. IT CAN GO UPx3 OR IT CAN GO DOWN.x7 OR IT CAN EVEN GO AT ANGLES LIKE THIS x6 OR THIS x8 OR THIS x4 OR THIS x2. x1 f1ENOUGH SHOWING OFF FOR NOW.f0 THE CREDITS: THE f1SHININGf0 AUTHOR OF THIS MODULE IS f1BATMANf0. THE SOUNDTRACKER MODULE PLAYER IS BY f1HUGO FIENNES, FABRICE MERCIER AND M. FARROWf0 THE ORIGINAL FONT (THIS ONE) IS BY f1JOUSTf0 AND WAS "BORROWED" FROM f1ALT-MAN'Sf0 BRILLIANT f1DEMO01f0. HELP WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE MODULE FROM f1DRAGONRIDERf0 (IS THAT EVERYONE?) s1NOW FOR A FEW DETAILS ABOUT DEMOFX s2THE MODULE CAN BE CONTROLLED BY *COMMANDS OR SWI CALLS. ALL *COMMANDS ARE AVAILABLE AS AN SWI. SOME SWIS ARE UNAVAILABLE AS *COMMANDS OR WORK IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY. SEE THE !HELP FILE FOR FULLER INSTRUCTIONS. TO SEE HOW TO USE THE MODULE, HAVE A LOOK AT THE !RUNIMAGE AND SCROLL FILES IN THE !DEMOFX DIRECTORY. ENOUGH WITH THE TECHNICAL STUFF. x3ONWARDS AND UPWARDS...... THE PARALLAX STARFIELD IS DRAWN ON 4 LEVELS AND, ALONG WITH THE SCROLLTEXT, RUNS OFF THE VSYNC EVENT. THIS MEANS THAT THEY RUN ALONGSIDE OTHER PROGRAMS WITHOUT AFFECTING THEM (A BIT LIKE SOUNDTRACKER). HOWEVER, WITH DEMOFX AND SOUNDTRACKER RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME, THE ARM 2 TENDS TO STRUGGLE A BIT OCCASIONALLY. I'M SORRY, BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THATx7 SHORT OF AN ARM 3 UPGRADE. ALL THE OTHER EFFECTS I CAN DO ARE CONTROLLED BY CODES IN THE SCROLLTEXT DATA. FOR EXAMPLE I CAN DO A FADE... x0 OR TURN THE STARS OFF x9 x5 OR ON AGAIN.x9 I CAN ALSO TURN THE MUSIC OFFx AND (OF COURSE) ON AGAINx. WELL, THAT'S ABOUT ALL THERE IS TO IT. NOW YOU CAN TRY WRITING YOUR OWN DEMOS (PURELY IN BASIC OF COURSE). x9f1ANYWAY, FROM ME IT'S GOODBYE AND WRAPPING TIME.....f0 w
