At the Party 97 held in Aars/DK we are proud to present our 40K Intro
called "Feelings". Full Credits are going like this:
Code: StingRay (40K is not enough!!!)
Graphics: Repaz
3D Object: rTG
Sound: Mr. Vain/Secretly! (Thanx for the Tune Dude!)
BetaTesting: Ramses/Remedy (Thanx to you too!)
Requirements: 68020+, 2MB CHIP, 4MB FAST, AGA ChipSet
Note: No Hardware checks are made in the Intro (Size problems)
so it may crash your machine if you don't have the right
Hardware configuration!
Some words from the Coder:
**************************
Most of the Routines used in this Intro are very old (i.e. the ShadeBob
Part was coded in '93). But since I don't like the new-school Style that
much, I decided to release an Old-School Intro to bring back the memories
of the past. And as you might have recognized, some others had the same
Idea too :)
In case you think, that the design sucks, please keep in mind, that I had
to do everything by myself and I'm just a coder, so.... And as a coder I
must say, that converting Gfx, putting parts together, to put it in a
nut-shell, doing the slave-work, is the most boring while coding some
stuff. But I like the Intro anyway, even I couldn't include all Routines
due to the 40K limitation (Parts left out: transforming Dot-Vectors consis-
ting of approx. 5000 Dots per Object displayed in 4 Bitplanes,
Dot-Vector-Scroller rotating around all 3 axis (of course!), Dot LandScape
(did I say that I like Dots? :)), 2D texture-mapped Vector Logo, Hidden-Part
MusicDisk with original C64 SID-Tunes etc.).
I also wanted to use a Sine-Scroller in the ChessBoard Part so that it looks
like the old Vision Factory Crack-Tro, but due to a weird bug and having no
free space for the Sine Table (who said 40K is enough for everything?) this
one had to be left out too...
About the EndPart: I really had (and I still have) my doubts if I should
include it or not because it may destroys the idea of the Intro. But on the
other side I wanted to show, that I'm also able to code these new-school
stuff, because I think that most people want to see 3.1415927 (?) texture-
mapped Vector-Objects in one frame...
But atleast I have to tell you a weird story about the End-Part :)
Originally I wanted to include a vertical Scroller which I wanted to code
at the Party so that it looks like a real End-Part. But since I was a bit
tired (im just a human being) I went under the table and slept a bit to
avoid a brain-buffer overflow (hi Ramses :^P). Current time was 28/12/97,
3:50 a.m. Later I woke up and looked at my (analogue) watch and it showed
8:30. And I thought: "Shit, I overslept the Dead-Line" (28/12/97, 8.00 p.m.).
So I quickly assembled the Source, packed the executable and brought it
to the Party organizers. I was surprised that they accepted my Intro and
didn't say anything about Dead-Line etc. Really happy I went back to my
table and loaded DOpus and then I saw it... It was just 8:35 a.m. so I could
have used more than 11 hours to complete the Intro. Yeah, thats the
disadvantage of having an analogue watch %^).
So the End-Part now looks like it looks :)
