  : Dyno proudly presents his first demo-screen since 1995, as a    :
  : contribution to the STNICCC 2015 demoparty that took place in   :
  : Gouda (Netherlands) on december 18th 2015.                      :
  :                                                                 :
  : Yet another parallax distorter, will you say ? Yes ! In my      :
  : opinion, the original demo by ULM has always been the best      :
  : fullscreen scroller ever on Atari ST, but I always thought it   :
  : was possible to do more. Therefore, this year, during a period  :
  : of nostalgia, I decided to dive myself again in assembly        :
  : programming, and tried to do it better. I spent a few months    :
  : coding on the screen, from scratch, and here is the result, not :
  : very original I must admit (no revolutionary technique here !), :
  : but I think the result was worth the effort.                    :
  :                                                                 :
  : Unfortunately, due to hardware issues, this demo was entirely   :
  : coded on Hatari emulator, tested on my 520 STF+STE, but I was   :
  : not able to intensively test my overscan and sync-scroll        :
  : routines on lot of computers, so I do apologize if this screen  :
  : does not work on some STs !                                     :
  :                                                                 :
  : This screen is released with the open-source code included if   :
  : anyone is interested...                                         :
