(that's why it's lame)
This intro was finished on the 11th
of November 1999 - 2 days before the
deadline. Thanks to CiH for accepting
this sorry excuse of a demo to be
included in Maggie. The reasons that
made him decice this are as of yet
undetermined. Let's all hope that the
mag will have the quality that this
intro doesn't have.
The code was written in Turbo
Assembler 1.71 (German, sigh :-) with
some assistance & support programs
written in GFA BASIC. It needs STE
hardware to get going (sorry, but when I
started coding in assembler I found some
articles about the STE, so I have never
written any plain ST code). Also, Crack
art 1.3 helped a great deal (not for the
graphics, but for finding the palettes).
While the intro was at the final
stages of development, I listened a lot
to the latest record by the band
Pavement, entitled "Terror twilight",
which may (or may not) have influenced
this intro (to the better, or to the
worse I cannot tell).
Next production: Who knows? I still
have a 4K intro to finish, I may code a
Christmas intro for the DHS compo, I
want to get started on a vertically
scrolling shoot'em'up type of game, I
may update the Maggie shell, or I may do
none of these things. Time -and possibly
encouragment- can only tell.
The source code is available on
request by e-mail (address at the end of
the text). It's about 2600 lines of
code, uncommented though. If I get 2-3
requests, I'll spend a day tidying up
and commenting everything in the source
and then mail it. So, all of you GFA
coders who use an STE, get in touch!
Nothing more to say, except the
usual: Stay Atari, blah blah blah cool
machine, blah blah blah PCs are shit but
everybody's got one, blah blah blah blah
the best years are yet to come, blah
blah blah blah blah blah are you still
reading??? blah blah blah..........

...and don't forget to visit the
Mechanical & Aeronautics Engineering at
the University of Patras home page (a
real beauty), located at:

(Wow, I hope I don't get sued for
proposing these sites. Hope you are all
adults reading these lines. In the
opposite case, kids, do NOT visit ANY of
these sites - especially the last!!!)
