*****************************************************************
This program allows you to explore fractal landscapes created
by your ST. The program is run by double clicking on the file
called GENESIS.TOS .
The program is very simple to use with all functions being
accessed by the function keys. A list of the keys and their
function appears on the main screen for your reference. A full
description of each key and its function follows:
F1 - NEW SEED - This will generate a new landscape from scratch
F2 - ZOOM IN - This function allows you to magnify a portion
of the map. On selecting this function two
vertical lines will appear in the center of
the map. It is the area between these points
which will be magnified. The lines can be moved
around the map using the cursor keys. When the
lines have been moved to the required area then
press the RETURN key to magnify that area.
Due to the nature of fractals the landscape
can be magnified infinitly and each magnified
view will contain the same level of detail.
F3 - 3D VIEW - This function will display the landscape as
an isometric projection to give a 3D effect to
the landscape. Press space to return to the main
screen.
F7 - SAVE 3D - Selecting this will display the landscape in 3D
as above but will then save the image as an
uncompressed DEGAS ELITE picture.
The filename of this file will be GENESISx.PI1
where the x is a number or letter chosen by the
computer. The first file saved on a disk will be
called GENESIS0.PI1 then the next file will be
GENESIS1 and so on upto GENESISZ.
The filename chosen is displayed at the top of the
screen after saving.
F10 - EXIT - Exits the program.
