- Amiga Purity v1.11 by Omar Siddique
-
-
- WHAT IS PURITY?
-
- Purity is an automated purity test administrator. Purity tests, for
- those not familiar with them, pose a number of questions (many of which are
- sexually oriented) to the answerer to determine how (im)pure the individual is.
- The higher the percentage score, the more pure the individual is.
-
- Purity was designed to eliminate the tedious making hundreds of marks
- with a pencil on a piece of paper and then counting them all up that's
- necessary with a paper purity test. Purity was also an exercise for me, as
- it was my first program combining Intuition and console functions.
-
- Purity includes two tests -- one with 500 questions, and one with 1000.
- The 500 question version is a modification of the original test and is
- primarily sexually oriented. The 1000 question test has more non-sexual
- questions and is a bit sillier.
-
- While there quite a few varieties and versions of purity tests out there,
- I chose to use the 500 and 1000 question variants because I felt these two
- are most representative of the tests available. If there is demand, I'll
- consider adding additional tests to Purity.
-
-
- HOW TO TAKE THE PURITY TEST
-
- Simply run Purity, and follow the on-screen prompts. Directions
- for individual sections precede the questions for that section, in some cases.
- Pay attention to them, so you don't skew your score!
-
- You can quit at any time either from the question prompt, or from the menu.
-
- The test files (purity500 and purity1000) must be in the current
- directory.

-
- DISTRIBUTION, DISCLAIMER, AND COMPATABILITY
-
- Purity is freely distributable. However, the binary, documentation, and
- data files must be distributed together in their unaltered form.
-
- The original documentation for the 500 question test is in the file
- origpure.doc. I haven't been able to find anyone that claims responsibility
- for the 1000 question test. :-)
-
- Purity was written in C on an Amiga 3000/25 and compiled with SAS/C 6.3.
- I have only tested it on my Amiga 3000 with Workbench 2.1 and 2.04 ROMs, but
- it should work correctly on any Amiga. Please let me know if there are any
- compatibility problems.
-
- While Purity has proven stable and problem free, the standard disclaimer
- applies; no warranty is expressed or implied, and the author shall not be
- liable for any damage or claims that arise from usage of this program.

- VERSION NOTES
-
- 1.0 Initial version, STDIO only (not Amiga specific). Not released.
-
- 1.1 Added Amiga Intuition support, basically rewrote the whole thing.
-
- 1.11 Argh! Made a stupid beginner's mistake in 1.1 and used "busy loops"
- that ate an incredible amount of processor power for what little they
- were doing. Fixed this -- Purity doesn't use so much power now.
