by Marc Schneider (Timelord)
released: summer 2000 (minor bugfix summer 2002)
This demo is completely OpenGL and runs on Microsoft Windows. Tested until now are NT 4.0, Win9x, Win2k and WinXP with various Nvidia cards. Just start the demo! If you dont like 800x600 Pixels, you have to add the parameters described below.
System requirements for a good show:
Pentium III 500
Riva TNT-Graphics (truecolor)
Sound (stereo)
large monitor and large speakers
( Of course your system can be better ;-) )
Commandline options:
-fps performance counter (frames per second)
-window run in window-mode, here you can change the window size
-nosound silent mode, you can run another player like Winamp in background
-w1600 1600x1200 pixels resolution at current colordepth
-w1280 1280x1024 pixels resolution at current colordepth
-w1152 1152x864 pixels resolution at current colordepth (this is the highest resolution with hardware acceleration on 16 MByte-RivaTNT-boards at 32bit colordepth)
-w1024 1024x768 pixels resolution at current colordepth
-w800 800x600 pixels resolution at current colordepth (DEFAULT !!!)
-w640 640x480 pixels resolution at current colordepth
-w512 512x384 pixels resolution at current colordepth
-w320 320x240 pixels resolution at current colordepth
Some textures are ripped from the demo version of Big Bang from Rayland Interactive, available somewhere in the internet. Thank you for saving them in targa format, they are really good and I wouldn't have managed to get such a nice space-box.
For the music I crawled through some CD's and the internet and I found the tune from SLiCE (www.tb303.com/slice, M@il: slice@royal.net) & rELiEf (www.dsm.dk/~d/, M@il: d@dsm.dk) called "Pro.ject: Eject". It's a FasttrackerII module and I had to modify the end to get a fade-out, but nothing is cut off this great tune (be lucky that you don't have to listen to a tune made by myself).
The demo uses the MIDAS Digital Audio System. I have copied the license.txt of MIDAS to the end of this file.
Disclaimer.
This program will not write anything on disk, but I'm NOT responsible for ANY damage which could be caused accidently by this program.
Especially running your monitor at too high resolutions is absolutely YOUR FAULT. Use this program on your own risk, I'm not responsible for anything. Is that clear enough? OK.
And a second time...

If you put the demo on your internet server or mailbox for download or if you want to put the demo on a CD-ROM, please send me an e-mail. I would like to know, where my demo is going around:

And now....
Enjoy the show!
