CLINKSTER - a software synthesizer for 4k intros by Blueberry / Loonies


INTRODUCTION

Clinkster is a software synthesizer (or synth, for short) designed for use in
extremely size-restricted executables, such a 4k intros. It has been under
development since 2008 and used in several 4k intros through the years. For
some background reading on the ideas behind it and its early history, refer
to the article from Zine #14 "Development Diary of Luminagia":
