!ReadMe file for Texture Garden v1.00
=====================================
Contents
~~~~~~~~
!TexturGdn - The main Texture Garden application.
Texture Garden is an algorithmic texture generation program.
Docs - A directory of documentation in the form of text files.
There is also the !Help file inside the main application.
Extras - Contains a syntax-colouring mode for the !Zap text editor.
This is designed specifically for displaying texture files.
Textures - Contains a number of text descriptions of textures.
These may be dragged into !TexturGdn windows to display them.
Getting started
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run the "!TexturGdn" application and drag a few text files from somewhere
inside the "Textures" directory into its main window.
Cosmetic improvements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a number of sprites which Texture Garden will use if they are
in the WIMP's sprite pool. I used to supply these with the program, but
I was advised that putting them into the WIMPs sprite pool without the
user's permission was bad practice. Some of them are so common that
although they are not in ROM, most people will easily be able to source
copies. If you have sprites named "ptr_hand" or "ptr_menu" then Texture
Garden will use them. Also, "small_diro", "file_fff²" and the various
other files referred to in section 04 of the "Docs.Technical" file will
be used if they are available.
Notes
~~~~~
Texture Garden works on all major Acorn RISC systems except RISC-OS 2.
It should be able to operate from a read-only medium, though you will be
unable to save your preferences or store your palettes.
Upgrading
~~~~~~~~~
Textures demonstrating any new features are stored in "Textures.Features".
Those upgrading from previous versions of Texture Garden are advised to
examine the "Docs.History" file to get some idea of the changes.
Also they should bear in mind the following points:
...from version 0.57 - 0.59
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "Textures" directory is unchanged.
...from versions 0.01 - 0.56
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Probably simplest to update all the files.
Enjoy.
