-=Autark Preview=-
Introduction : Autark is a new mag. You know, with articles and stuff. The
responsible persons for this mag are n-Factor and YOU of
course. We decided to releases this preview in order to let
you have an impression of what the final mag will look like,
the interface is fully operational. We haven't set a deadline
for the final release date yet, as we won't most probably be
able to stick to it, but it will be released as soon as we
think it's ready, this depends on the amount of articles,
votes, messages and adverts, so we'd like you to send some.
One thing Autark will feature is a corner for political
discussions (hey, don't even dare to think that the demoscene
and politics are not related in any way, just remember all the
discussions about the french nukes in DGI for example).
But this doesn't mean that we won't include any 'bullshit'
texts, write whatever you want, but don't forget: your name
will be published next to it :)
The only language allowed for articles is English, of course
you can write in your mother tongue in messages or addies.
Technical Infos: The mag requires a 386 computer. As the 640x480x16 mode is used
a vga is sufficient. The soundsystem included in the mag is
the same used in our Digitrakker (which you should get btw., if
you don't have it), so all the following cards are supported:
+ Gravis Ultrasound (GUS, GUS Max, GUS Ace)
+ Soundblaster (1.0, 1.5, 2.0)
+ Soundblaster Pro
+ Soundblaster 16
The maximum size for one page is 38x21 characters, the
maximum size for graphics is 304x320 pixels, please supply the
graphics in 8 greyscale colors.
Go ahead, make use of this feature, there are lots of
possibilities, you could include a picture of yours or
you could explain some steps of a picture with images
of the steps being shown. The best entry will win
a tin of Karlsquell.
The interface : The interface is totally gfx-based, so there are some advanced
features available for writing your articles:
+ choose of different fonts and sizes
+ shadows
+ choose colors of fonts and shadows
+ include up to 200 graphics into your article
+ text and graphic alignment
+ proportional texts
+ much more
The whole mag can be controlled by keyboard as well as by mouse
with the mousecontrol being positionsensitive.
