Short: Chunkygraphics library v1.38 for Blitz Basic 2
Author: Paul West
Uploader: paul@stationone.demon.co.uk
Type: dev/basic
Replaces: Mildred.lha
Requires: 68020+ CPU, preferably some fastram, and prior knowledge of blitz
Mildred is a chunkygraphics library for Blitz Basic 2. It attempts to replace
most of the existing planar graphics system and also add new features and
capabilities, the main difference being that everything is done in `chunky' data
format rather than planar. This has many advantages in various areas and a
comprehensive range of blit and other routines are provided as well as many
custom objects (chunky bitmaps, shapes, queues, tables, c2pwindows, etc..)
Mildred brings you over 250 new tokens in a custom library which has full runtime
errochecking routines. The library is the largest ever made for blitz but
probably you will not mind the byte overhead when you consider what it will make
possible for you in your software. Working in chunky allows easy graphics-card
support and output to AGA via a flexible chunky-to-planar system.
The Mildred library is copyright (c) 1998-1999 Paul West and Pagan Software. You
are permitted to use the library in its normal fashion, ie using the new tokens
that will appear in blitz, but are not permitted to attempt any kind of reverse
engineering. Nor are you permitted to gain any money or goods by sale of the
library. However, you ARE permitted to use it in any and all of your blitz
software, be it freeware, shareware, licenseware, commercialware or whatever. I
do not ask for any fee in return unless you are feeling obliged. If you are using
it in an commercial product that is retailing for more than 5 UK-pounds per item,
then I wouldn't mind a percentage and a mention ;-)
The original aminet archive was a collection of archives from the official Mildred
support site, which is at http://www.stationone.demon.co.uk and the same trend
continues with this update. There have been a number of revisions since the
previous update and a number of new example programs added. Loading up index.html
you will be greeted with a copy of the front page of the support site, which will
allow you to read the comments about each of the archives to give you some idea
of what they are. The main Mildred library is in the Mildred.lha archive. See the
documentation for how to install it. The only part from the index.html that will
not work is the links to the example dissolve pictures.
This aminet release is intended mainly to put Mildred and associated example
programs onto the aminet so that people who do not have internet access may join
in with the fun. If you are on the internet I suggest you just go to the support
site, and also recommend joining the blitz mailing list if you haven't already
done so which can be achieved by sending an empty message to
blitz-list-subscribe@netsoc.ucd.ie , where you will likely find me hanging out
along with a number of other blitz addicts and Mildred users.
