- Well, I'm betting this manual will be bigger than the program -
- here we go:
-
- This program is freeware, and I don't ask for money, but I would
- like to know if you have used it, whether you like it or not, and what
- enhancements or changes you would suggest.
-
- In this program, you can create scapes of sand with your mouse. It
- is easier to understand it if you run it and watch, but there are a few
- things to note:
-
- -With the left mouse button, you let the sand fall with your
- selected color, which is shown at the top of the screen, in the title bar.
-
- -With the right mouse button, you change the color, from color 1 to
- 31, and again to 1. You cannot select the color 0 (which is the background
- color).
-
- -With the 'N' key you can start or stop the SNOW. The snow falls
- in the selected color, but you can change the main color while the snow is
- still falling, the color of the snow itself will not change. In you want
- to change the color of the snow itself, you need to toggle SNOW off and on
- again.
-
- -With ESC you quit the program (and you might get a GURU)
- (1.1=No more guru)
-
- IN THE FUTURE
- -------------
-
- +Complete palette editor
- -Load and Save palette
- -Save your pics in IFF
- +Clean the screen
- -Load IFF backgrounds. You can't overwrite your background with
- sand, but the sand can fall on top of your background.
- -Load invisible platforms. So the sand will stop or roll. It is
- very nice. For example, you can have some outlines of big letters
- without any border on top and the sand will fill the letters as
- the sand falls.
- +Changing of resolutions and number of colors
- +Full AGA support
- +NON AGA support, too
- -Wind
- -Variable snow density
- -Variable snow and sand speed
- +Pull-Down menus
- +Faster?
- -Every thing you want
-
- In this version, if you want to change the palette, you can do it
- with the palette TOOL on your WB disk. It works.
-
- The plus signs (+) above indicate the options that are working in my
- current developing version.

- HISTORY
- -------
- 1.2-One change: the manual is now in "real" english
- 1.1-The major difference between this version and 1.0 is that you
- don't get a guru after quitting. Also, you can see many
- pull-down menus on the top, but they don't work yet. It is
- because version 1.1 is a step towards 2.0.
- 1.0-First release.
-
-
- The speed is good on an A500, on my A1200 it's excellent. I
- haven't tested it on an A3000 and I sure would love to test it on an
- A4000!! :-)
-
- If you want to see something else, please let me know. If nobody
- tells me that they have looked at it and that they like it, I'll presume
- that nobody likes this, and if nobody likes it, why continue?

-
- P.S. Excuse my english, but if you don't understand me, too bad. The
- program itself is so simple that you really don't need this anyway.
-
- P.P.S. Today, 25-Feb-94, a friend of mine has translated this into "real"
- english, so now I guess you can understand it. :-D
-
- P.P.P.S. 8-) Today, 20-Mar-94, I (garyweir@cup.portal.com) asked Dimas if
- I could clean this up a bit more. So now if you find any spelling or
- grammar mistakes, you can blame it on an ignorant American....;-) Dimas
- loves to get e-mail so please do write to him.
