                                  ---------
                      Code, design:         Seven
                      Music:                El Blanco (original James Lord Pierpont 1857) 
                      3th party tools used: Clinkster, Crinkler and shader Minifier

                                .Requirements.
                                --------------
     * A fast video card with lots of Pixel Shader 4.0 compatible shader pipelines.
     * 300 Mb ram for the Crinkler decompression
     * Windows XP or higher
     * 4 kb diskspace

                              .About the intro.
                              -----------------

This is an emergency xmas 4K intro, because the demo that we were planning to release
at Under Construction/GhettoScene 2014 is not remotely ready. To keep with the holiday
spirit, we bring you this cautionary tale, teaching you that violence never solves anything.

El Blanco whipped up the music in one evening, the snowman and Santa were modelled at
home, but everything else was coded at the partyplace. Hence, it's not exactly 
speed-optimized :( The compomachine here has one of those Titan Black cards that the
German compo orgos pass around, so it runs more than fast enough on the compo machine.
On my laptop with an nvidia GT 765, it runs at 15 to 25 FPS in full HD. If your machine
has a weak videocard, I suggest using the low-res version. The demo should run on an ATI
card, but I can't check this on the partyplace.
