GLIDERS
---------
This program is intended for the MicroBee Premium or 256TC series.
It is based on an IBM public domain program originally written in Basic
and now re-written in Turbo Pascal. The graphic images of each paper plane
(glider) was converted to BeeArtistic form (using SHOWPC on Mbug disk # 141)
modified and then to 16K format using BA216K on disk # 131. I have used the
16K format because it is the smallest file (16k) that can store Premium
graphics information and also the quickest to load. The Premium screen dump
routine used was taken off Mbug disk # 140.
This program has 15 different paper planes (gliders) to choose from
plus 4 different screen that gives various cutouts that can be glued onto
the final folded gliders. No instructions are given as to how to fold the
gliders, some are obvious and some are not. It is up to you to work it all
out. Best of luck!
I have played around with the inbuilt 40x16 mode on the 'bee. The
opening screen should be in this 40x16 mode, then switch to standard 80x25
mode and the graphics shown on a 64x16 screen. If you experience any problems
or not, please let me know via the MBUG B/B or either meeting night.
