- These programs were written by me, Russell Caslis, as part of an
- (over)extended final project for my Computer Science AP class. If you have
- any questions or comments on any aspect of the program or how something
- was done, feel free to contact me.

- BrainStorm .... The main program, or base on which everything depends. It
- is a 3D display and animation program useful for advanced
- hobbyists, professionals, and to a lesser degree anyone who
- wants to create IFF ANIMs. Since IFF bitmaps can be included
- and manipulated, the program is not limited only to 3D
- applications.
- PlayANIM ...... Plays the animations created with BrainStorm. BrainStorm
- animations are not limited just to this program, they can
- be played with any IFF ANIM player. Likewise, this program
- can play other IFF ANIMs.

- SETUP
-
-
- BrainStorm and PlayANIM are nearly totally independent of
- any special startup requirements. However, a few things should be noted.
- The most important thing is memory requirements. BrainStorm should
- work with even a 512k machine, depending on the screen resolution, number of
- colors, any included iff bitmaps, and the number of 3D objects. If
- you want to record any IFF ANIMs, however, at least 1 meg is required (more
- memory recommended). BrainStorm also requires that the math libraries
- & icon library be present in the current LIBS: directory. Most of
- the time they are, but sometimes certain people customize thier startup
- disks and remove these libraries. PlayANIM is totally self-sufficient,
- limited only be the amount of memory. More complex animations with higher
- resolution and more colors require more memory.
-
-
-
- Other than these few requirements, there should
- be no problem with any of these programs. Kickstart
- version 1.2 or 1.3 required.
