4kb intro at the Flag 2002 party, Hungary
_ ______________________________________________________ ___ _
Hi and welcome to the world of Wobbler! I hope this
intro does worth its 4 kilobytes on your harddrive.
This is my second 4k intro. The other was Anatyda
at Mekka 1999, which was to my knowledge the first
Windows 4k. Since then it became a standard to make
intros for Windows. Now you won't get shouts by dumb
people that Windows sucks when the intro is shown on
the bigscreen. It seems that people realized that it's
the same challenge to code and optimize an intro for
Windows as for DOS (or for Amiga - as you prefer). But
this did not make me optimistic about intros. I think
that size optimization is becoming meaningless. Back in
1980s when the intro competitions were established,
it was a general programming goal to make small code.
But the code size simply does not matter on present day
computers. Size coding is a tradition kept up solely by
intro competitions. By now a coder can not use this
knowledge anywhere else in the IT world. And what the
worst is that even among sceners there are less and
less people who pay attention to intro competitions and
appreciate the effort put in these works. These are the
reasons why Wobbler was my last assembly code.
Thanks for your support Rod, Mephizto, Nikon, Ebola,
Wad, Tsg, Boyc, Nagz, Noel, Nap, Geza, Picard, Reptile.
Signed, Gem.

Wobbler was coded in pure assembly.
The music code includes a TB-303 emulator.
The intro was compiled with NASM, linked with a
modified Alink, packed with an own exe to com encoder
(Dropper) and compressed with UPX.
I will release the Dropper soon.
