Well! Here's my second demo. I'm kind of in a rush so I'll try to keep
this short. If you just can't wait to see my demo, then what are you waiting
for? Go run it! Otherwise, you can keep reading this text.
I decided to put out another demo because I got a lot great feedback from
the release of my last one. Besides, I did not feel that "the Byte Before
Christmas" was that much of a challenge. This time I'm trying to do a more
'traditional' demo look. (is this closer to a *real* demo, Patch?)
I did not implement Demo-VT, as a couple of people had suggested, because
of a little problem I ran into. Demo-VT makes you change the music between
executables and will not let you have the same music running through several
parts. I wrote to Jare (right after I put out the BBC) and did not get a
reply until just a few days ago. He acknowledged Demo-VT's limitation and
accepted my suggestion of a different way to parse the scripts so that this
limitation could be removed. As I did not have any time at the last moment
to add in the work-around he suggested (have Demo-VT run another program
that runs the separate parts), I still am not using it. When the next I get
the next version of Demo-VT, then I'll use it, but until then, I'll use the
current method. (Sorry to those who can't get the music to work).
One other thing you may have noticed is that there is now only a single
executable. I developed another version of my JLIB format that permits
'junk' to be stored before the beginning of the actual library files. In
this case the 'junk' is the demo loader which loads the rest of the demo out
of the main library. Version 1.3 of JLIB will be available with the source
code package available a week after the release of this demo.
I'd also like to thank all of those people responsible for the original
ideas/code for the parts that I did not completely think of or write myself.
Draeden's mode X code was especially useful and I used Patch's PCX Utils
for all of the fonts. I'd also like to thank Joakim Rosqvist for his
help in optimization, providing the music, and also showing such an interest
in my work. And to Andrew Welch, I'm sorry I couldn't wait for you to
finish that one part of the demo for me. Maybe next time!
