!FishTank - Re-Released on the 11/10/96, now works on StongArm/RO 3.7
=========
Public release version 2
A DFI production. First released 12/06/96.
DFI on the web at: http://www.foobar.co.uk/dialin/utopia/DFI.HTM
*** What?
**
*
This is the first public release from the demo group 'DFI'. A rather limited
fish tank simulator. No music I'm afraid as we wanted to keep it as short as
possible. Tap space to disturb the shoal.
*** Why?
**
*
Demos are a way of showing off. Quite clearly we're all show offs. Anyway,
not enough people respect the Acorn so we're here to make them.
*** How?
**
*
All written in assembler, as demos should be, using that wonderful
combination, !Edit and BASIC V. No extras needed here - that's the beauty of
the Acorn. The fish was created using !Draw.
Full source code is available for exchange - contact us if you can offer
something interesting.
*** Creation credits...
**
*
- Graphics / coding : PT
- Concept / OS : Duncan - also StrongArm fix/re-assembly
*** Respect to...
**
*
- BASS, for their superb !Crunch, used to compress it. - not anymore ;)
- Now compressed with Squeeze, which is why the executeable is about 4k
bigger!!!
- ARMOric for his web-pages and support.
*** Future productions...
**
*
The 'WhiteRoom' mega demo is still under construction. Expected time of
arrival: 12/96. Here's part of the spec:
- SF3000 style city runs (the 3DO version that is ;)
- Much warping of graphics.
- Lots of 3D, shading, lighting and mapping.
- Some music.
- A story.
- And of course lots of great real time graphics.
*** Don't I know you?
**
*
Probably not. Expect to hear a lot more from us in the near/distant future.
