- Some words about this demo
Weird...here is another production of DemaniacS. This demo was
almost finished and competed at the Gardening'96 demo compo and
won the 2nd place. At first it wouldn't run smoothly at the party
compo machine because of the projector's hardware that lowered the
refresh rate at 60Hz and we had to make a lot of changes before we
could show it at the big screen. So this is not the actual demo
shown at the partyplace but the finished version. The demo is
written in Turbo Pascal 7 and its almighty assembler. The source
code is about 16000 lines long or 350Kb.
All code , music and most of the gfx is done by us. All fonts are
code-made using Pascal and the fractal background at the waterlike
effect was made with Fractint. The Batman logo is not ours, we took
it from a gif image - sorry but there isn't any real gfx artist in
the group...Most of the samples are made by Aris. Everything in
this demo is calculated realtime,there is not a single precalculated
table through it. Every frame of the mandelbrot zoomer is calculated
realtime too, except from the first frame that is stored in the exe
file,in order to display it at once.The final zooming factor is 262144.
Please don't tell us that the scrollers' texts are stupid because
that's what they intended to be...And of course...if this demo
crashes/destroys/BURNS :) your computer then we are to blame...so
simply don't run it ;)
- Running the demo
Well this demo needs at least a fast 486 computer to run. If your
computer isn't fast enough the demo won't execute. Sorry about this
but it would be just awfull if you run it on a 386 or so. So you
can run this even on a 486dx2/66 but a Pentium is strongly recommended.
The demo also needs about 500kb of base memory and at least 500kb of
EMS, but if you run it on a 486 better give it as much EMS as possible.
Supported soundcards include SB,SBpro,SB16 and Gravis Ultrasound.
When running the demo it autodetects your sound card and decides
the mixing speed and stereo or mono playback for the Sound Blaster.
You can use the '+' and '-' keys to adjust music volume while the
demo executes.
