│ Introduction │ │
│───────────────┘ │
│ Here it is, the official release of the 1st prize winner of the Takeover │
│ '98 intro compo. No changes have been made to the actual code whatsoever. │
│ "But the party version had no music!" I can hear some people scream now. │
│ The point is it did. It just didn't play since the organizers had the │
│ brilliant idea of running the 4k's on the computer with just a GUS (no SB) │
│ installed, and as we could all hear GUS is not that good at playing adlib │
│ in native mode, now is it? They had planned to rerun the intro WITH music │
│ during the prize ceremony (that was, if they could get the adlib to work │
│ at all), but since the prize ceremony was already delayed a LOT, that did │
│ not happen. Well, too bad. I guess I would have liked to hear the music │
│ on a >2000watts music system, but hey.... the party still ruled! │
│ │
│ │
│─────────┐ │
│ Manual │ │
│─────────┘ │
│ Oooh, it's soooo very difficult. Go the the right directory, type PDREAMS, │
│ slam ENTER, and tataaaa! It will work! No vesa needed, no windows wanted │
│ (although it will probably run just fine with it), adlib compatible sound- │
│ card optional. And if you are really starting to hate my cute little text- │
│ mode intro, you can even press ESC and skip it. No other parts of the │
│ intro are skippable, though. │
│ │
│ │
│─────────┐ │
│ Lyrics │ │
│─────────┘ │
│ Here are the full lyrics that are shown during the intro. They are not │
│ exactly brilliant, but creating good lyrics with only 10 characters to │
│ spend per line is not very easy you know! │
│ │
│ "Fuck the people who think they're cool, │
│ we are the ones who totally rule!" │
│ - Bookie │
│ "Close your eyes open your mind... │
│ experience the ultimate purpleness" │
│ - Claws │
│ "Rscpt 2: C64 fans, IK+ ppl, Bookie, Ryo-Ohki, │
│ Hugo, Cloak, Deadline, Rogue, Chippy,Sweex, │
│ Sentinel, Ritz, Inside │
│ Sorry 2: Exam ppl" │
│ - The Watcher │
│ "The End is purple!" │
│ - The Watcher │

│──────────┐ │
│ Credits │ │
│──────────┘ │
│ Hmmmzz. So I guess this part can be handled pretty fast. All coding by │
│ little old me. Except for the music player, which is ofcourse done by │
│ PSI/future crew. And some lyrics by other tuhb-members, as mentioned │
│ above. │
│ │
│ │
│──────────────┐ │
│ Source code │ │
│──────────────┘ │
│ Well, if you want to lay your hands on the source code for this intro, │
│ you will just have to download Tuhbzine 4 (due 3 weeks after the Takeover │
│ party). I will put the full source-code in the zine (exportable), and even │
│ give a short description of the effects I used. │
│ │
│ │
│─────────────┐ │
│ The Future │ │
│─────────────┘ │
│ You might ask what the future will bring. Well, I am already working quite │
│ hard designing Purple Dreams 2. It will contain effects that are totally │
│ different from those in Purple Dreams (that's why I don't mind releasing │
│ all sources) and hopefully some nice designish elements. I just hope that │
│ when I release it (maybe at Wired?) there is some competition, since that │
│ would make the compo's a lot more exciting. So what are you waiting for? │
│ Start working on your 4k intro release now! The 4k scene shall bloom! │
