DAZZLE
version number: 4.1a date: 3 January 1991
Requirements :
PC/XT/AT computer, 256k memory, color EGA or VGA, MS/PC-DOS 2.x or
higher, no experience necessary.
Purpose:
Graphics Display and Interactive Image Generation.
Features:
An interactive color kaleidoscopic program that provides many hours of
changing visual viewscapes. Performance art for the eyes using over
30 drawing algorithms and an assortment of "fades" and special effects
to exercise a wide range of available display techniques. Providing an
entertaining excursion through the capabilities of PC graphics
technology. The non-interactive self generating mode is an effective
attention getter with a variety of uses; in trade shows, in showrooms,
in schools, ad infinitum.
Enhancements:
Version 4.1 introduces interactive control and configuration
capabilities for the self generating mode of operation. There now is
an on-line help system. A new configuration menu allows the user to
customize the program's displays. The program can now be toggled
between self generating "Auto" mode, and interactive "Semi-Auto" mode.
The configuration file used is an editable text file, and can be
loaded at program startup as a command line option. New color palettes
can be invoked for any image at any time, even for a frozen image. The
antiviral check can be bypassed for faster program invocation. The
executable file size is compressed, using less disk space. The
documentation has been significantly expanded.
Version 4.1a has code to make the program tolerant of various keyboard
speed-up utilities that adjust the "typematic" rate of key repeats.
This stabilizes program performance across a broader range of systems.
The "/K" command line option is added to control this new feature.
See DAZZLE.DOC for details of these and other new key functions.
