Fishtank by DFI

!FishTank
=========

A DFI production. Released 12/06/96.


*** What?
 ** 
  *

This is the first public release from the demo group 'DFI'. A rather limited fish tank simulator. No music I'm afraid as we wanted to keep it as short as
possible. Tap space to disturb the shoal.


*** Why?
 **
  *

Demos are a way of showing off. Quite clearly we're all show offs. Anyway,
not enough people respect the Acorn so we're here to make them.


*** How?
 **
  *

All written in assembler, as demos should be, using that wonderful
combination, !Edit and BASIC V. No extras needed here - that's the beauty of
the Acorn. The fish was created using !Draw.

Full source code is available for exchange - contact us if you can offer
something interesting.


*** Creation credits...
 **
  *

 - Graphics / coding : PT
 -      Concept / OS : Duncan


*** Respect to...
 **
  *

 - BASS, for their superb !Crunch, used to compress it.
 - ARMOric for his web-pages and support.


*** Future productions...
 **
  *

The 'WhiteRoom' mega demo is still under construction. Expected time of
arrival: 10/96. Here's part of the spec:

 - SF3000 style city runs (the 3DO version that is ;)
 - Much warping of graphics.
 - Lots of 3D, shading, lighting and mapping.
 - Some music.
 - A story.
 - And of course lots of great real time graphics.


*** Don't I know you?
