1. Terms Of Distribution
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Permission for the non-commercial distribution of TrackBall by Dr. Gandalf
is hereby granted. Non-commercial distribution is defined as distribution
by user groups, individuals, bulletin boards, and not for profit, public
service public domain disk distributors.
Any manufacturer of hardware or software is specifically enjoined from the
public distribution of any part of TrackBall by Dr. Gandalf, except
if written arrangements are made with the author (not that I wouldn't be
willing to make such arrangements).
***Specific permission is granted to AMIGO TIMES to distribute this
animation if it is a winner in their animation contest.
TrackBall by Dr. Gandalf is specifically NOT in the public domain.
Now that we have finished with that silliness,
2. How it was made:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original images were generated in Interlaced Overscan HAM mode using
Turbo Silver V3.0, a commercial ray-tracing program from Impulse Software.
There are 147 images total, which is over 16.8 megabytes of information in
the uncompressed form. The images were touched up with PrismPlus, also from
Impulse. After compression and assembly with Byte-by-Byte's public domain
sequencer, MOVIE, the finished animation file is 658956 bytes long, which
represents a 96% compression. This animation will run in a 1 meg Amiga.
The sounds were digitized with Perfect Sound fron SunRize.
3. How to view it:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To play it from a CLI:
- Put TrackBall, TBall.AUD, the nine .SND files, and a copy of
MOVIE (version 1.2 or higher) in the same directory or
on the same disk
- CD to that disk or directory
- Type
1> Movie TrackBall TBall.AUD
To play it from Workbench:
- Put TrackBall, TrackBall.info, TBall.AUD, the nine .SND files, and
a copy of MOVIE (version 1.2 or higher) on the same disk
- Open the disk icon, and double-click the TrackBall icon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you enjoy TrackBall. If you do, you can pay me back by
coming up with some interesting animation and graphics of your own and
distibuting them.
