Doc file for MITHRIL April 1992 by Mark Slagell
Mithril is an unusual 3-dimensional animation that runs on any Atari
TOS computer, in low or high resolution. In low resolution it employs
gradual color cycling, and uses the full 4096-color palette if
available (STe/TT); in high resolution there is fine shading and
slightly smoother movement. Mithril has a raytraced look to it, but no
raytracing is done in the program.
Images are not loaded from disk, but created by the program within
whatever memory is available. The more memory the better the
animation.
When you run Mithril you are prompted for the number of frames you want
to use. It takes 2 or 3 seconds to create each frame before the
animation can begin. If you have lots of memory but little patience,
you may not want to use the full number of possible frames.
After all frames are drawn, animation begins. Sit back, be mesmerized.
