FAQ
===
Q: i have a PIII/1GHZ. the demo is flickerin like hell
and the water/blur fx look like shit.
A: use the "-vsync" parameter to synchronize to vertical
retrace or use "-mblur" for motion blurring. (this should
slow down every pc available right now =)
Q: no sound.
A: is your BLASTER environment set properly ??!
Q: i hate this demo.
A: delete it.

INFOS
=====
ainc. was founded in 96 by the toxic avenger..
only productions made were some pc-games since then..
this demonstration is the first contribution to the scene..
the demo was produced in about 2 months (although most stuff has
been done in the last 2 weeks (finished 2h before deadline) =)..
source is about 400k of code (containing 20-30% asm for
speedy rendering/soundmixing)..
unzipped data is about 2.5MB of pics, meshes and sound..
dos-soundengine was made by bander + toxic avenger
and can be downloaded from their sites..
the fpcx direct draw interface is downloadable too..
almost everything you saw/heard in this demo was COMPLETELY
SELFMADE (except some of the textures (thanx to the net =)..
ripping kills the scene (f*#k those stolen mpegs/meshes)..
