AMISTYLE ~~~~~~~~ This is my entry into the Xmas #coders 256-byte intro competition. Simple effect, inspired by past Amiga demos! For smoothest animation don't run under Win-blows! Also supplied is a 444-byte intro which was what I was originally trying to do in 256-bytes but couldn't get it below 412 bytes! Lastly, I think rather than doing 256-byte intros, we should be doing 512-byte intros. In 256 bytes once you've put down the code to change modes (to hires and back), set-up the palette, test for ESCape, wait for VertBlank, copy off-screen buffer (if used) there isn't a hell of a lot of space left for the actual effect. In 512 bytes it is actually possible to create a fairly complex and interesting effect and is much more worthwhile. Hell, in 512 bytes it's even possible to go 3D! Also, 512 bytes is the same size as a boot-sector! It could be called the Bootro compo! :D Ciao... SHAYDE/REALITY Dec97 shayde@wave.co.nz
