- This demo is based on the HOI AGA demo effect "My Fair Lady".
- Not only is this version slightly faster than the HOI DEMO, it is also
- programmed nicer.
-
- Rather than taking over the machine, pounding hardware, and forcing
- you to boot with no startup... SilverFox's Twister (SFTwist) will
- multitask in a draggable Intuition Screen and cause NO enforcer or
- mungwall hits. My demo also has more going on with a QIX running
- around the screen and 3-d stars as well.
-
- Finally, all source code is included from the original C and ASM
- to the ".h" and ".o" files for linking. The demo was written in SAS/c
- 6.3 and CAPE 2.5 assembler.
-
- The demo can be run from either the workbench or CLI and will exit
- when you press any key while the screen is activated (clicking the
- mouse buttons will only blank the mouse). Even though the demo
- executable is very small, it requires a lot of memory to run (about
- 700 K) and therefore will only run on 1 meg machines. When you first
- run the demo, the 3-d stars will be absent until computations for
- the rotation have finished. You can monitor the computation progress
- by the speed of the QIX. After about 3 seconds on an '040 machine
- or 15-20 seconds on a 1200, the demo will begin for real.
-
- The demo requires the freely distributable iff.library by
- Christian Weber to run. It is included in the archive. By starting
- the demo from the CLI with a single argument, you can load in your
- own 320x200 1-bitplane graphic into the demo. I suggest you try the
- included picture "GIRL1.IFF" :)\<-8 (smiley beating off with his
- left hand).
