³ This is the first ever demo by XTATIC º ÖÒ·ÖÄ·Ö· ·ÄÒÄÖÒ·ÖÄ·³
³ XTATIC is an new Australian Demo group with a º º º ºº º º º º ³
³ total of two members, they are: º º ºÄ·ºÓ·º º º ÇÄ ³

³ Musician / ANSI. º Greetings to: ³
³ º ³
³ We decided to form our own demo group a º LEGiON ³
³ few weeks ago, I Random, had been working on all º CyberSquad ³
³ the routines in the demo just for practice then I º VangeliSteam/Iguana³
³ came across a nice little program called, DEMOVT. º Advanced Gravis ³
³ With that I was able to put some of saNes music º All Australian ³
³ (with which he had made quite a name for himself º demo groups. ³
³ locally) into my routines. So we decided to make º And All great Demo ³
³ a demo, and here it is... º groups around the ³
³ º world! ³
³ This demo was put together in about two º The Infinite Realm ³
³ weeks, although I had been coding the routines º & Mindflux BBS's. ³
³ since late 1993. Most of the time was spent º ³
³ optimising the code (you call that optimised º Refer to demo end ³
³ code??? :-) ), and anyway since the demo is in º scrolly for full ³
³ 100% C++ it wont run very fast at all on less º greeting list. ³
³ than a 486. It also uses some floating point math ÓÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
³ so on any 486sx it will run quit slow on at least
³ two parts! Only one part of the demo is not
³ completely by me, and that is the plasma. While I
³ was coding the fire I was thinking about coding
³ the plasma, since it uses the same principle, so
³ I told my brother Zimi, and he decided to code
³ it. But unfortunately he cant code C++ only Basic
³ and AMOS (on the Amiga) so he made it in Basic,
³ and it was sloooow, so I converted it to C++.
³
³ Anyway, if you have any problems running
³ the demo try a clean boot, or your friends
³ computer. Also if you don't have a SVGA video
³ card then you cant run in SVGA mode (Duh). So
³ just choose the VGA 320 x 200 x 256. The only
³ difference between that and the SVGA mode besides
³ the resolution is that you wont see the logo!
³ And also the SVGA mode requires VESA BIOS, so if
³ your video card doesn't have one your will have
³ to load a driver like UNIVESA. Or the one that
³ should have came with your video card. Also if
³ you want to re configure the demo after the first
³ load when it will save the config, run the demo
³ with a command line of anything, eg XTATIC.EXE -R
³ Thats all I can say besides, if all else fails
³ contact us.
³
³ Here is a list of the files in the archive:
³ FILE_ID.ASC -- BBS file description in ASCII.
³ FILE_ID.DIZ -- BBS file description in ANSI.
³ IGNITE.EXE -- The executable file.
³ IGNITE.TXT -- This document.
³ IGNITE01.DAT -- Data file 1.
³ IGNITE02.DAT -- Data file 2.
³ IGNITE03.DAT -- Data file 3.
³ IGNITE04.DAT -- Data file 4.
³
³ For all of you who are thinking how lame
³ it is to release a C++ demo, too bad! But don't
³ worry I do own Borland Turbo Assembler and I have
³ a 500 page tutorial on the subject, but I don't
³ have the time / couldn't be bothered reading it
³ right now... :-( But since I spent $300 dollars
³ on it I will be learning it soon!
³
³ To finnish we hope you like the demo and
³ we would most appreciate feedback / comments on
³ it! Even if you just want to talk, or ask for the
³ source code :).
