WHAT IS ZONK?

Zonk  makes psychedelic patterns  to 
stare at when you're too zonked  for 
anything else. It might also be used 
at raves etc.


          *** WARNING ***

Photosensitive epileptics should not 
stare at flickering  patterns.  This 
may induce fits. The program  author 
accepts  no  blame  for  damage   to 
person  or property whilst  Zonk  is 
running.


ABOUT ZONK

Zonk needs a minimum of 1 Megabyte of
memory and a colour monitor. It should
be compatible with any ST, Mega or
even Falcon (hopefully).

Zonk claims to be  semi-intelligent. 
It  can tell how much memory  you've 
got  and  exploits  it  by  grabbing 
screens.    These   are   used    as 
backgrounds and are shown in a  fast 
slideshow.   Over 110 screens can be 
stored in a 4 Megabyte STE.

I wrote Zonk in STOS Basic with  the 
Misty  extension.  It was  compiled, 
fixed for TOS versions > 1.62  using 
STOSFX11 and packed with Firepack.

This version (1.02) of  Zonk can now
save  the  grabbed screens  as  well 
as load and  process any NEO or  PI1 
images (as Kozmic does).

However, as Zonk can store say, 112 
screens,  display each of them in 28 
palettes and overlay each with  > 40 
bitplane patterns this means:
         112 x 28 x 40 variations.

Press  SPACE  whilst  the  main  two 
pattern  routines  are  drawing,  or 
during the fast slideshow to  access 
menus for Screens, Saving, Loading
and other options.

*  The PD version can only  save 
one screen.

*  Alternate/Help  is  set   to 
default to Epson hardcopy.

* GEM accessories are  ignored. 
It's  best to boot cleanly  to  save 
space.
