Atariforum demo by Paradize [web] & Cerebral Vortex [web] & No Extra [web]



     Welcome to
     
     THE ATARI FORUM DEMO
     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
     (c) 2004 by various members of Atari Forum
     http://www.atari-forum.com/
     
     A demo for Atari STFM/STE computers with color display

Compatibility issues
....................

This demo should run ok with most versions of TOS.
Mr. Nours DCK only works with TOS 1.6x. Blame DCK :)
Something was weird with Scheme's part too. Your best bet will probably 
TOS 1.4.

STE detection
.............

As you probably already detected, the demo has no proper STE detection.
I planned it but I just couldn't fit it (or the deadline had to be stretched
again.)
Parts that are STE only are marked "STE" on the menu. Some other parts have STE
enhancements like extended palette or DMA sound.

Now the blahblah ;)
...................          
     
Simon Sunnyboy / Paradize on the keys now. (You may already guessed that :D)     
We all hope you enjoyed the demo sofar. It was a real pleasure to create
so just spread it and have fun!

Before the various coders will take the keys and tell you a short piece
about their parts I'd like to tell you something.
I personally do not fully like this resulting demo. It is definitely not
what I had in mind when proposing this. This does not affect parts. All
contributions are very nice and I was astonished how many skilled asm
coders took part. I had expected more DCK and STOS parts.
My problem is the whole system. I had lots of time but various reasons
brought me to a stop. This demo misses what I first had in mind: individual
part description before launching each part. I missed it because I didn't want
to delay the demo any further. We are actually more then a month late already.
So the text pieces originally planned for that announcement part can now be
found in this little doc. I'm sorry that neitehr a doc displayer nor the
announcement part did make it in time. Perhaps I'll do
"Atari Forum Demo Revision 2" some day.

Even if this demo is not fully what I had in mind, it is still ok.

Some contributions didn't make it. Mainly ebcause I've never heard from their
authors. What with the Dune announcement for example?
One part by Perihelion looked promising but didn't work on real machines.
As he hadn't the time to find the bugs, the part did not make it.
Time seemed a problem on this whole project. I can tell you a long story about
this.

So what - don't complain and enjoy!

Have fun and stay Atari /|\ !

Sorry, neither Scheme nor Mr. Nourse supplied the text (I hope I haven't
missed). But I can tell you:

Scheme part is done in STOS Basic, MR Nours DCK done with DCK.

That's all -  why not watch the demo some more?

cheers and thanks for downloading this joint production!
