Design 5 - The Fifth try (to make a success)
First presented at Assembly'97
(In the Jury Room)
<Hopefully on the bigscreen too>

This is the partyversion. If we/you find any bugs, send report to
us (sliver@dystopia.fi) and we'll try to make a fixed version.
Also, the full (and somehow documented) sourcecode of this intro
will be released soon after Assembly'97, look out for it.
This version doesn't have infofiles included. If you want more info
on us, check our WWW-page; http://final.dystopia.fi/~sliver
Our most recent productions can be also downloaded from there.
-[WARNING, READ THIS BEFORE RUNNING!!!]----------------------------------------
Works best with configuration like HIMEM+EMM386(+SMARTDRV+NNANSI.SYS)
but should work with himem only.
SB users need to have both, free XMS and EMS.
GUS users need only XMS.
ULTRASND and/or BLASTER environments are required to be set before
you run this intro.
This minidemo (intro) needs lots of processor power and doesn't want
to be run in a computer with Windows(tm)('95) (on background) or Sound-
Blaster card inside. Nothing against Windows or SoundBlaster, It's
just that our player supports only DOS and has only MONO playback
with max. 22.1Khz support for SB (2.0/PRO/16/32) - And SB player
has been reported to suck sometimes.
Instead of SB, use Gravis UltraSound (Classic/MAX/Extreme) to get
some fantastic 44.1khz sounds into your ears :)
Requires | Recommented
------------------Å----------------------------------------------------
386SX/16 | P133 (Not tested with Intel P(tm))
VGA | Fast VLB/PCI VGA/SVGA (Not tested with VLB)
Conventional+XMS | Conventional+XMS+EMS
Supporting following soundcards:
***** Gravis UltraSound (Stereo)
- tested with classic, max, pnp; should work.
*** Sound Blaster (Mono)
- tested with 1.x/2.0/pro/16/32; should work.

Hellloou, this is the fifth part of our 'Design'-Saga. Welcome in.
History of this saga:
30.11.1994 D-Jing (Dizain 1)
23.02.1995 Dizain ][
14.05.1995 Dizain 3
23.11.1995 D-ZiKN IV
and now, August 1997, after the pause that lasted for almost two
years, here's Dizain part 5,
11.08.1997 Design 5 - The Fifth try (to make a success)
<Dizain 5>
-[A jury member asked. "So what's the idea?"]----------------------------------
I wanted to make something for Assembly'97, coz Assemblies has been
a traditional party to me and my friends; We've been there since '93.
Just after Anarchy'97 we though we will not go to Asm'97, but somehow
we then decided to go. Two weeks of time left when I started to make
this intro, I just had to make SOMETHING.
Remember those little intros with chips on background and block
every here and there?-) ok, here's one of thosE "oLdE ScEwL"
intros from the beginning of '90s.. Looks familiar? Well it should,
hopefully it has the same spirit those classic a500 intros used to
have .. Nothing complex, nothing heavy stuff, just an intro to say
"hello world, we are alive and rocking!"
Sorry pls, couldn't optimize the speed - had to optimize the size
instead. A byte from here and there, it was quite a joy joy joy.
Partyreport, live!
It's friday 08/aug/1997, 06:48am, started to code the intro :)
two hours+12minutes and we'll have to be ready to get to the
partyplace. (3 kilometers away)
[)(] Music by METHYL;
Methyl promised to make a chiptune, so everything started to look
_ clear enough to start making an intro. Music was composed with
³\ Scream Tracker. No packer was needed to use coz it remained small
oÙ enough.
_
(_l Graphics by SLIVER;
._| Since there was this size-
.-. limit and I had no idea how big was that chiptune going to be, I
|- decided to make only ascii graphics; Faster to make, takes less
\/ bytes and looks all the way quite niCe. 'Graphics' are made in
/\ TheDraw(tm). Palettes and everything related to VGA are calculated
in the intro itself. Font was made in DP2 and converted with
BFS-Converter to TP7 understandable format. Picture in the end
is taken by Sliver at Anarchy'97 of Heap.
mov Programming by SLIVER;
ax, Code was written with TurboPascal7.0, BECAUSE I'm still a beginner
13h with Watcom C.. Oh, Would I start to code, even, an intro with a
int strange language when I have only two short weeks time, would I?-)
10h Anyways, main reason was that I didn't know how to make smaller
: executables in Watcom (Except without 386 instructions) so I
. decided to code one more intro with TP7. Not much precalculations,
. only some little tables to speed it up a bit.
That dummy "Stickman's World" imitation was real-time calculated,
all the vertexes were moved by following some mathematical algebras.
Actually, over half of this intro was coded during the day before
assembly'97 began.. "gee" :)

-[Dd, I won the competition]--------------------------------------------------
Well, that's it. There are NO commandline parameters, just run
INTRO.EXE and watch the show. Known bugs are with ANSI.SYS which
comes with PC-DOS 7.0, it sometimes fucks up the "BC!" logo in
the beginning (for some mysterious reason, can't access 50line mode
like it should work) but that's probably because of undocumented
DOS command I've used to output text on the screen. Tested with
NNANSI.COM and worked fine. Another one is that something fucks
up in exit (in user exit only <hopefully>) - it crashes, but only
sometimes.. dunno is this one of the funny features of TP then :)
Have fun, hopefully this woke up some memories from the earlier
times of scene.
