PONDER - the source code
This is the source code to my demo Ponder, which was released at the
Pre-Awakening '96 party. It consists of one file of 2,523 lines of C/C++
code (with some small amounts of inline assembler).
This release does NOT include everything you would need to re-compile
the demo. The data files for the graphics and font are the main thing
that isn't included. MikMod, a music replay system by MikMak of
HardCode, would also be required (it is available on ftp.cdrom.com).
The code was written over about a week, entirely by myself. Over this
week I also had to draw graphics, the font and track the music for the
demo. What I'm trying to say is that the code is completely and utterly
un-optimized. There are innumerable optimizations that could be done on
the tunnel type effect, some of which are *extremely* obvious, none of
which I implemented. I was too busy trying to track the music :) Anyway,
I think this actually is a benefit for releasing the code, because the
code is much easier to understand this way.
I hope you can learn from the code, or at least find something
interesting in it.
good luck with your endeavors,
josh / winghead
P.S. I'd love to hear from you if you find this helpful (or not) or have
any questions. You can reach me via e-mail at winghead@cyberspace.com until
mid-july. I can also be found on IRC on #coders (nick: winghead) quite
often (read as: all the time) :)
