This demo is a collection of routines I have been working on over
the past 5-6 months. Some of the parts are written partially by others, and
the proper credits are in the source (yes, it is available).
Coding: GooRoo/SKP (Chris Egerter)
Music : Falcon/SKP (Aaron Gould)
Grand Verbalizer/WSP (Barry Egerter)
GooRoo/SKP
Graphics: GooRoo/SKP
End Ansi: Pyromaniax/SKP (Kevin Keenliside)
Music Player: Cyberstrike (Josh Jensen)
About the code:
───────────────
I used the WordUp Graphics Toolkit v4.0 as a basic system to load
pics, palettes, sprites, etc. A lot of the demo uses its own drawing
routines in assembly for speed, but a few commands from WGT were used,
including the texture mapping, 3D rotation, bitmap resizing, palettes,
and image transfers. I don't expect many other people have used WGT to
create demos like this. I only did it because I wrote WGT, and know the
way everything works. Hopefully you'll learn something new after studying
this code.
*****
MODE X (or any other tweaked VGA mode) WAS NOT USED IN THIS DEMO.
Don't let anyone tell you standard MCGA 320x200x256 is not suitable any more!!!

If you've got a slow computer, or you just get plain bored of one of the
parts in this demo, hit a key to skip to the next part. Currently the
ESC key will NOT exit the demo. You have to go through each of the parts.
(or press that reboot button!)
