Hello, I'm Aaron Holmes. Never heard of me? Not surprised, there are several reasons for this;
I just stopped using BASIC,
I just started using Amigas,
I'm 16 years of age, and,
I'm new to using modems!
The programs you'll find here are two variations of one of my very first Amiga (and C) programs. Though they've been tested hundreds of times on both the A3000 (YES!) and my friend's 2000, they are NOT garanteed to run on your configuration.
You will notice that I've included the C source with my programs.
If you are a professional coder and can notify me of any flaws or inefficiencies that I might fix, please do so. (I have done as much optimization and organization as can with my experience)

Sorry, no Fido!
OK! Now for the contents:
ShotSTAR (newest version of ShotSTAR)
ShotSTAR.c ( ^ source)
ShotSTAR_old (old, slow, still neato version)
ShotSTAR_old.c ( ^ source)
READ_ME! (obviously what you're reading)
ShotSTAR_old, my first version, though perfectly 68000 compatible, runs slower than the new version because it draws while it calculates. (trig functions can really hammer the old '000) The new version; labeled simply: ShotSTAR, will find more use with 68000 users, as it pre-calculates all of the points, THEN draws lines, and erases the screen quickly, not fancily like the old one. (the older may be found nicer by users of 68030 or higher processors.)
Source code should be compiled under Lattice C v5.10 or higher, OR it can probably be modified slightly to use with other compilers.
