-
- Perspective View is an animation tool that allows you to add real-time 3-D graphics
- to an 8-Bit Apple II program. Interfaces are included to allow the binary code to
- be added to an existing AppleSoft BASIC or 6502 assembly program.
-
- The program uses page flipping and color dithering to allow up to 16 possible color
- combinations on the standard Apple // Hires screen. There are several drawing modes
- that allow OR, AND, and XOR (non-destructive) graphics to be displayed.
-
- PV will animate up to 16 seperate shapes at the same time, while displaying accuate 3-D
- perspective. All models are constructed from wire frame images that you generate via a
- graphical editor.
-
- A manaual is available that describes how to program in both assembly and BASIC. Sample
- programs are provided that demonstrate how to use most of the features within the PV package.
-
- A flyer is available that describes PV in more detail, and lets you order the manual. I seem
- to recall that a copy of the manual with disk ran about $25 (just enough to cover costs).
