MANDALA MOVIES¢¢ Mandala Movies, this month's¢Super Disk Bonus, is an addictively¢creative kaleidoscope construction¢set. Using simple keyboard and¢joystick commands, you can¢effortlessly create an infinite¢number of fascinating designs that¢flow hypnotically in ever-varying¢patterns.¢¢ The fascinated Antic editorial¢staff had a great time testing the¢possibilities of Mandala Movies¢setting kaliedoscope patterns¢flowing across the monitors at¢XXX¢unoccupied workstations for hours at¢a time. One Antic art department¢staffer was enthusiastic about using¢the vivid colors and striking¢patterns of Mandala Movies to design¢quilts or embroidery patterns. You¢can't save or print designs, but you¢can freeze the screen image and¢photograph it.¢¢ Mandala Movies is programmed¢entirely in speedy (but¢hard-to-type) machine language.¢Author Mike McFarlane did an¢excellent job with this highly¢artistic program. But, for reasons¢that would take too long to explain¢XXX¢here, unfortunately Antic does not¢have McFarlane's current address.¢We believe he lives in the Eugene,¢Oregon area and we'd love to hear¢from him, or from anyone who knows¢where to find him, so we can send¢Mike's author fee.¢¢USING THE PROGRAM¢¢ Use DOS command O to copy the¢MANDALA.EXE file to another disk¢that includes the DOS.SYS file.¢Don't attempt to run Mandala Movies¢directly from the monthly Antic¢Disk. Use DOS command E to rename¢MANDALA.EXE to AUTORUN.SYS. Turn¢XXX¢off your computer and remove all¢cartridges. Place the disk in drive¢1. If you're using an XL or XE,¢hold down the [OPTION] key while you¢turn on your computer. Mandala¢Movies will load and run¢automatically.¢¢ After a short demonstration run,¢you can start experimenting with¢Mandala Movies. Follow the onscreen¢prompts for instructions. With just¢a few keystrokes and a nudge of the¢joystick you can produce striking¢kaleidoscope patterns that will¢amaze your friends.¢XXX¢ Mandala Movies operates in GTIA¢mode 10, letting you work with eight¢colors in your design, plus one¢color for the background. In Color¢Selection mode you can adjust the¢colors to your liking, and even¢watch your current pattern change¢while you experiment with new¢colors. After you have an image you¢like, you can start it scrolling¢across the screen in several¢patterns for an entertaining visual¢display.¢XXX¢ Programmers: Antic wants to see¢your most ambitious programs, even¢those too large or complex for¢printing as a type-in listing.¢High-quality programs in any¢language that has a runtime version¢are now eligible for consideration¢as a Super Disk Bonus.¢əəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəə
