killer by Carillon & Cyberiad [web]
Numerous people have been asking, who did what for the Killer demo.
So, here are the credits.
Killer - by CNCD
Complete credits:
Code Sly 3D-Engine (called Jaguar), its mapping systems,
math and most of the macro interface for its
extremely easy usage :). Optimized version of
the light caster routine's buffer read part.
The 040/060 optimized CPU only chunky to planar
conversion routine.
Humanoid VectorGrid engine, particle engine
scalesprite system, the first and the original
idea/version of the light caster and the polar
conversion calculations for it. The (buggy:)
memory handler and the Light Wave scene converter
for Jaguar.
Case 3D primitive object calculations and displacement
routines, some grid calcs, 2d chunky sprite system,
the blurrotator. Also some ideas (from his own 030
optimized engine) for optimizing the Jaguar engine.
Most of the linking of the demo and timing the
effects. He was also the "organizing" coder,
telling exactly how things should be coded.
the audio player used in the demo
was coded by Jarno Paananen
To keep up the coding motivation the official "vallan kahva"
HUGE rubber hammer was used. Great for maintaining order
amongst coders :)
GFX Destop The Killer logo. Almost all the textures,
envmaps and the images displayed along with the
routines.
Louie The grayscale credits logos, some textures and
palettes and the CNCD logo at the end.
Music module Money Can Buy Me Love was composed by Yolk&Legend
Huge thanks must go to Juliet for the moral support and the design
ideas, though we didn't have time to use some of them. He should
also be thanked for lending us his brains and solving many of the
problems concerning coding/math. :) He truly is the greatest coder
of the century...
Watching the demo on any slower processor than 060 is not advised
unless you want to see a slide show. The routines in the demo have
been purely optimized for 060 and also the scenes are so complex
that a slower processor starts thinking of all the possibilities
to commit suicide.
Also note that we didn't have time to completely finish the demo,
there are a couple of effects missing from the demo. They were
supposed to be the highlights of whole thingie. Well you will
hopefully see them in our next demo.
Hmm, that's about it. Hope I didn't forget anything important.
Now, grab a hold of your butt. You might wanna get used to doing
that since you're gonna to be doing it a lot while watching the
future demos from Sly&Hmd...
