█ "Flight" by GooRoo, BarryE, Maelcum, Floss, DATE: [04/18/95] ░
█ B00MER, and Leviathan ░
█ ─ ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ─ ─ ▒
█ This is Kosmic's first demo, which placed third at NAiD '95. The demo ▓
█ needs 8 megs of RAM and a soundcard to run. The reason it needs 8 megs █
█ is I preload most of the graphics and tables at the beginning of the demo. █
█ This eats up a lot of memory but it allows for fewer pauses between each █
▓ section. Since the demo is closely timed to the music I didn't want any █
▒ pauses. I guess Maelcum will have to make a new directory for kosmic █
░ demos now :) █

Some interesting facts about the demo:
3D objects:
-----------
F15 - 504 points, 879 faces (gouraud texture mapped)
Red Mask - 488 points, 806 faces (gouraud) + phong palette
Human - 965 points, 1630 faces (gouraud) + phong palette
Source code:
------------
7819 lines of C (Watcom C/C++ 10.0)
175 lines of asm - Most of the low level routines were already taken care
of by WGT 5.0 and DSIK 2.0. I can't say enough about
these products.
Approximate time to complete the demo:
--------------------------------------
2.5 weeks
Interactive Parts:
------------------
If you tap a key during the first voxel part you can use the following keys:
Arrows - Move
W - Increase altitude
S - Decrease altitude
During the vector spaceship approaching the earth:
Arrow - Move camera
PGUP - Raise camera
PGDN - Lower camera
CTRL while the above keys will rotate the ship around each axis
If you tap a key during the second voxel part (with spaceship) you can use
the following keys:
Arrows - Move
W - Increase altitude
S - Decrease altitude
+ - increase movement speed
- - decrease movement speed
R - Rotate camera around the ship
F - Rotate camera in opposite direction
UP - Thrust ship forward
DOWN - Thrust ship backward
CTRL and UP - Zoom into ship
CTRL and DOWN - Zoom away from ship
PGUP - Raise camera
PGDN - Lower camera
During the seagull credit sequence:
F1 - Low ground detail
F2 - Medium ground detail
F3 - High ground detail
