::Copying::
You might spread and copy this demo
freely, as long as this archive and
this text file stay "as-they-are".
Selling it is strictly forbidden!
You can burn it to ROM for your
personal use. But selling the
burned ROM is an illegal act.
This is a special message to some
companies, which dont care about
copyrights.
(I think you know which I mean!)
::Competition::
It was planed to put this demo into
the wild-compo. But as there was a
8bit competition planed, I changed
to that. At deadline I was told by
No/Escape, that there was only one
other entry for the 8bit compo and
a agreed to put Lynx Reloaded into
the intro-compo. And yes, this demo
is smaller than 96kb. Have a look
into the binary. Everything beyond
92kb is zeros.
::Running::
This demo is meant to run on the real
hardware. This means, running on the
HANDY emulator might lead to some
"unwanted" effects.
There are some problems with the
sprite-engine emulation. This is
visible in the 3d-part.
Also, the music sounds kind of strange.
::Coding::
The demo was done in a very very short
time. Most of it was done at the
convention itself. There was never the
time to work on design. And yes, this
demo really lacks design. I had
problems getting a music file which
fits into to small Lynx memory
together with the effect screens.
At last I had to take the only one
which fits into around 19kb.
Grafic was a similar problem, as I am
a very untalented painter. Most of
the GFX was done by Flash/TNB during
the convention.
This demo was created using the
BLL Kit of Bastian Schick and
Lars Baumstark.
::Grafix::
The credit and endpart picture use
more than 16 colors. Normally, the
Lynx can only show 16 colors at once.
It is possible, to show up to 4096
colors on screen with some dirty
tricks. You can see some more examples
of that on my homepage and inside the
"CGE Slideshow" cartridge i made for
Songbird last year.
::Musix::
The MOD player was originally written
by Duranik and was slighly modified
to save some CPU time.
::ROM::
If there is enough interest, I can make
some ROM Cartridges, including a BLL
Loader, this demo and some bonus stuff.
Perhaps even including some simple
games. If you are interested, please
contacte me.
