- How to make this beastie:
-
- 1> cc 3dstars.c
- 1> as rnd.s
- 1> ln 3dstars.o rnd.o -lc -o 3dstars
-
- SYNOPSIS
- 3dstars [magic] [warpfactor]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- 3DSTARS is similar to the STARS program. MAGIC is a magic number
- that controls the field of view. The smaller the number, the wider the
- field of view. Default is 128.
-
- WARPFACTOR controls how fast the stars come at you. Default is 3.
-
- To watch this thing work, find yourself a red and blue gel.
- Selection of the blue gel is rather critical since you have to choose a
- shade that will shut off all red light. Usually, the deeper the blue, the
- better (not too deep, or you won't be able to see through it).
-
- Now, put the red gel over your left eye and the blue over your
- right. You should turn your monitor contrast way up, or darken the room, or
- both. Pick a distance from the screen you like.
-
- --------
-
- This is written for the Manx compiler. Conversion to Lattice should
- be trivial, but I don't want to do it (I've finally decided that I hate
- Lattice. I'm really not kidding this time).
-
- The code is heavily uncommented, so if you don't know what's
- happening, mail me and I'll try to help.
